A resident has reported more bad news for people who need to use the A370!

SomersetLive reported that the A370 will be completely closed for 6 nights from November 27^th from Cleeve to the bottom of Rhodyate Hill. (Not at weekends.) There is a notice by the roadside if you’re able to read it in passing!

A diversion will apparently be put in place but there’s no info about this on OneNetwork. Nothing yet on the First Bus diversions list either. Considering the hold ups on the A38 by the airport at present a diversionary route will not be a quick one!

The road closure will affect a lot of residents as well as through traffic.

The police has informed us that a garage at the bottom of the rear garden of a home on Frost Hill in Congresbury was broken into during the night of Monday November the 13th.
