  • Borehole testing was carried out in September 2025.
  • Following this, the testing consultancy investigated the materials found in the laboratory and produced a detailed materials analysis.
  • This report then was reviewed and broken down in more layman’s terms by a geotechnical consultancy, and an overall review report was produced, and received in January 2026
  • The report enabled the consultancy to also review potential methods of remedial to stabilise the embankment.
  • We have received this report, but part of the commission was to also include indicative costs of repair which we are chasing.
  • We are scheduling a meeting to review this information
  • As soon as we have relevant information, Highways shall look to discuss what options we have to go forward with e.g;
  • No funds so keep route closed as current;
  • No funds so close permanently;
  • Look to secure funds from The Council;
  • Look to secure funding via any such bidding or other sources
