Drivers are being warned that Marton Road between Marton and Baschurch will close for over a month for landslip repairs.

It comes two years since the degradation of the road edge, with many locals joking online about the time it has taken to fix.

The closure starts at 09:30 on Wednesday the 29th of October and lasts until 17:00 on Wednesday the 3rd of December, with only residents allowed through when it is safe.

Diversions will be in place and people are asked not to park on the road during the day while work is ongoing.

Shropshire Council says dates could change depending on the weather, with updates shown on roadside signs and online.
