A landslip on Phoenix Bank, Market Drayton
Rubble was left strewn across a busy road in a Shropshire town centre after a landslip which led to delays for motorists.
Part of Phoenix Bank in Market Drayton had to be closed following the landslip.
It was caused by a section of the wall behind St Mary’s churchyard giving way, allowing rubble to be dislodged. Temporary traffic lights have now been put in place to allow traffic through safely.
Highways chiefs from Shropshire Council said today that the lights would remain in place until repair work has been completed.
But the work could be delayed while the council tries to establishes ownership of the land affected.
