Wrexham County Borough Council is closing a track for 18 months in the coming days due to the likelihood of danger to the public due to erosion.

The temporary prohibition of through traffic order will affect the track from Ysgythre Isa to Pen Bryn Nantyr Road, Pontfadog, known locally as 'Heartbreak Track.'

Effective from Tuesday, October 6, vehicles will be banned from a 603m stretch of the track in a northerly direction towards its junction with Pen Bryn Nantyr Road.

The closure aims to ensure public safety due to the track's erosion.

An alternative route for affected vehicles will be signposted via the lane from Brynyffynnon Road to Pen y Bryn and Penybryn Hill.

Pedestrian access will remain throughout the 18-month closure.

The notice, signed by Darren Williams, chief officer for environment and technical, was dated September 23.
