Councillor Bhatia said: "Lessons should have been learned from the last time when the road was closed in November following an accident. I sought assurances then as was promised better plans were in place, but it is quite clear that the plans were ineffective. As soon as large trucks or buses are allowed on to the back road it leads to immediate chaos. We were lucky there were no emergencies, if there had been there was no way of getting through. We need to have a traffic diversion pack, complete with signs based at the Eshiels depot."

Sponsors of the “Stop the Spread” show garden include Defra, Forestry Commission, National Trust, Welsh Government, Scottish Government, Woodland Trust, Horticultural Trades Association and Timber Packaging and Pallet Confederation."
