Banquet Travel News
Hi All
Have received an update that there is a road block, if you are driving up from the South.
I've been advised that you should do the following
DO NOT take the A5470 towards Waverley Bridge.
Instead, take the A523 to the A6, then the A6 towards Disley. Then the diversion is signposted.
