The wonky road 'killing' pub's trade
The landlord of a Chippenham pub says its future is "uncertain" after a landslip ripped up a road.Wiltshire Council said the road would not reopen until late next year, with work to cost millions of pounds.
"A few of the people who are regular here have said sorry for not coming, because they don't want to come through Bradenstoke village. It's a problem, we have lost regulars. "They put traffic lights on it so you can just pass on one side for a few weeks but it was obviously getting worse and worse as time was going on and then eventually they had no option than to stop people going up there.Repairs to the road could cost millions of pounds"You can't plan for the future. You don't want to spend any extra money, you can't invest in the pub because you don't know what the future holds.
"We do not expect major construction work to begin on the road until 2023, with it reopening at some point later that year.
