A ROAD in Bodmin which has been closed since January due to collapsing masonry will be closed for a period longer than anticipated.

Crinnicks Hill, in Bodmin, was closed to enable construction workers to repair the building.

Cllr Leigh Frost, the Cornwall Council member for Bodmin St Petroc, said: “Crinnicks Hill was originally scheduled to reopen at the end of March but unfortunately during the course of the repairs further issues have been identified and need repair.

“This means that Crinnicks Hill will have to remain shut for longer than planned. I have been assured by the building owner that they are working as hard as they can to get the works finished as soon as possible so the road can be reopened. Thank you for your patience.”
