Island Roads have issued more emergency road closures, necessary due to the clearing of excessive mud from the carriageway.
Various roads in Ashey have been closed whilst the specialist operation takes place (West Lane, East Ashey Lane, Green Lane, Harding Shute).
The road closure follows warnings from the NFU, CLA and police over the illegality of excessive mud being left on the carriageway by farmers and landowners.
Can lead to fatal accidents
An NFU South East spokeswoman told OnTheWight,
“Besides being illegal, excessive mud on the roads can lead to serious and even fatal accidents and so it is essential that farmers and growers take steps to minimise its impact.”
