Ashford Road

The road was closed between Rolfe Lane and Cockreed Lane and motorists had to make diversions using these roads. However, it was possible to drive to view the TR0625 : Burley Way. This was due to some of the barriers having been blown over by the wind and also that there were no contractors working on the site because it was a Sunday.
