Delays for drivers over landslip work

Drivers wait for the lights to change
The latest landslip comes two years after parts of the wall, just yards from the latest incident, caused the embankment to collapse.
In January 2008 a team of abseilers was called in to help with the clean-up operation and to ensure that the embankment was safe.
Back then engineers had to remove debris after the landslip at the steep slope, which connects the town centre and the southbound A529.
It took more than a week to fully reopen the road, clear away debris and shore up the wall.
