Road partly closed for months needs 'complex repairs'

The A1120 has had one lane closed since Storm Babet hit the county in October

A road that has been partly closed for more than seven months is need of "complex repairs", according to a highways team.

One lane of the A1120 near the Cedars Park estate and Tesco in Stowmarket has been coned off due to flooding since Storm Babet in October.

Suffolk County Council's highways team said inspections had been done but until the drainage system had been repaired, the lane closure would remain in place.

A spokesperson for the council apologised for the "disruption caused".

Complex repairs to the road were needed until the road could completely reopen

Storm Babet resulted in severe and widespread disruptive weather across the UK.

Shortly afterwards, the council said it was investigating more than 60 incidents of flooding.

More recently East Suffolk Council announced a new £500,000 fund had been set up in the district to help communities caught up in future emergencies.
