Starkholmes - White Tor Road landslip

The road that runs between Riber Road and Starkholmes Road was closed in April 2020 following subsidence on the edge of the carriageway.


A desk study report and rope access investigation has been undertaken which established evidence of a small landslip perched on a large rock outcrop. This feature is part of the larger historic Starkholmes landslide which is a complex of multiple failures along the hillside.

Due to the complexities of working at this location any work undertaken will involve specialist external contractors and we intend to undertake remedial works in the 2022 to 2023 financial year.

The diversion route is Riber Road, Starkholmes Road and vice versa.
