Bread Street slippage and temporary road closures

Bread Street slippage: The road leading out of Bread Street towards Stroud has noticeably slipped especially near one of the cottages. Locals may recall a little further up the road collapsed into a garden some years ago. There are clearly concerns that the same could occur - this time the road could also slip direct into the house. In my conversations with Highways they tell me they are monitoring the slip with pins in the road and an engineer is due to look at it - may have even done so already. Let us hope it does not entail closing the road like they did with Lower Street in Ruscombe for some many, many months...clearly this is different in that a home is also threatened by the slippage.
