Road Closed

The road just by the Council Chambers is closed for three days - it's being dug up by the Water people.
Which means that there are diversions from the bridge into Broad Street and from the Blue Boar corner.
Unfortunately, this lunchtime, a Co-op lorry started to head down the hill straight for the roadworks, and got stuck. They couldn't go down Castle Street - the roads in the middle of town are too narrow for the big lorries - so the only thing they could do was reverse back to the junction. A chap from Walter Jones hardware shop was helping to direct traffic on one side of the road, and another man on the other side, but it took some time to get other vehicles to stop and move back so that the Co-op lorry could reverse out of the trap it had got into.
