Hell Bank, above Beeley, near Bakewell, was blocked off by Derbyshire County Council last month.

Highways officers said it was likely to be closed for some time – and have confirmed this week that this remains the case.

A council spokesperson said a ‘prolonged period of dry weather’ was needed ‘before we can even start any assessments’.

A spokesperson said in January: "The road is now closed to all, including cyclists, walkers, and those on horses.”

The council faced criticism from some residents when the news was revealed on its Facebook page.

One said it was a result of how badly the authority maintains its roads.

Other Derbyshire roads have also been hit by landslips in recent months.

Lea Road, between Cromford and Lea, was closed by a landslip in January 2020 before being hit by another when it was due to reopen in November last year.
