The kissing gate opposite the Usk Bridge and along the side of Llangattock Cemetery have been removed temporarily. The contractors, Alun Griffiths, tell us that this is to create an accessible route while the pavement is worked on in order to make it wider. While this phase of work is ongoing single-file traffic controlled by traffic lights will be switched to the other side of Hillside Road by the Vine Tree. The contractors say this will probably happen on Friday. When the gates are replaced, the path will be raised up to prevent it flooding. LCC continues to work with others to improve this path and make it accessible to all. More news on that to follow in due course.
