Bristol and Bath Railway Path to close in Staple Hill after badgers cause mischief

A busy stretch of the Bristol and Bath Railway Path will close for two months after burrowing badgers blocked a ditch.

South Gloucestershire Council is carrying out works expected to last eight weeks, meaning it is likely to remain closed until January 10.
