Main Brixham road to be closed for tree felling
THE main road in and out of Brixham will be closed to traffic from 7am on Sunday for tree felling work.
Following a tree falling at Strawberry Bends last month, council officers have identified a further four large trees on private land that pose a potential hazard to road users and therefore need to be removed.
The trees are particularly big and are close to the highway so will require specialist removal involving a crane to lower the branches.
That means the road will need to be closed to vehicles for most of the day on Sunday.

Paignton-bound traffic will be diverted along Churston Way, Copythorne Road and Bascombe Road.
Bus services in and out of Brixham will be severely affected, and people wishing to find out more should contact the bus companies for timetable updates.

“I would like to know who made the arrangements to get the diversion backwards.
As published by the council both incoming and outgoing traffic has to cross each other at Windy corner.
Dumb or what.
Incoming via Kennels road, outgoing via Bascombe road just will not work, if it is a sunny date it will be gridlock.
No amount of traffic control will cure it.”
