Derbyshire County Council have notified us of the following:
Road closure due to flood
22 October 2013
The main Chesterfield to Matlock A632 road remains closed due to flooding which has caused a wall to collapse.
The road has been closed between Acorn Ridge at Walton, Chesterfield, and Span Carr Crossroads since yesterday (21 October) lunchtime.
Continued rainfall and water running from the hills is hampering attempts to clear the debris and establish and fix the cause of the problem, which is thought to be a blocked culvert.
We have knocked down part of a retaining wall on the opposite side of the road to relieve some of the flood water. Diversions remain in place and motorists are being advised to avoid the area if possible.
Alternative routes are available via Wingerworth using Langer Lane, Birkin Lane and Span Carr Crossroads or by using the main A619 route through Baslow and Bakewell.
