Business owners in Symonds Yat are furious that Herefordshire Council decided to resurface the road from Goodrich to Kerne Bridge for two days during the Easter Holidays. The road had to be closed on Thursday, April 9th and Friday, April 10th to allow for the work to be completed.

Graham Howells, who runs several businesses in Symonds Yat, and is Chairman of Symonds Yat East Riverside Community Association, told the Ross Gazette that his members are prepared to take legal action to recover any losses due to the work. He said:?"The closure has been carried out without any regard for the tourists and local businesses." Full report in this week's paper.
