Road reopening halted by badgers
‘Works to reopen the main road between Langholm and Lockerbie have been delayed by badgers.
The B7068 was closed before Christmas after a landslide at Scroggs Bridge and lengthy diversions put in place.
A council spokesman confirmed that work had ground to halt after a badger sett was found under the route of the works. [..]
“I appreciate that work was delayed because of the discovery of a badgers’ sett and land ownership issues,” he said.
“But from an initial indication that the road would be closed for weeks it has now been months and currently there is no end date in sight. [..]”‘
