The closure of the road has also had a detrimental affect on businesses in the area, with one having to move their company away as a result.

Newbridge Road provides a vital connection to businesses from the A483 and with that closed, businesses have been severely impacted.

None more so than Mirage Automotive.

Located 100m from the site of the landslide, the car company has had major struggles with deliveries which has led to them putting plans in place to move away from their workshop in Newbridge, over the border to Shropshire.

Managing Director, Matthew Potts said: "We are now struggling with suppliers, we normally have big lorries coming to us dropping car parts off but they can’t access the driveway coming from the Newbridge side, they have to come from the Pentre side because they can’t physically turn off the road.

"We can’t get anything delivered anymore so as a result we have to get them to come the long way round and spend money on things like forklifts and trollies and manually bring parts up to the shop.

"We're literally unloading lorries on the main road – which we can do because there are no cars.

"Customers are struggling to find us too. A lot of our customers come from the south, normally they're directed by the sat nav to come through Pentre, which they can't do.

"The amount of times I’ve had to cross to the Pentre side and give directions or get in the car and drive all the way round, it’s just a bit of a nightmare really."

Susan Mills, from Ty Mawr Country Park, is worried that the closure will have an impact on footfall in the long term.

The Leader: Ty Mawr Country Park have been badly affected by the road closure.Ty Mawr Country Park have been badly affected by the road closure.

She said: "It definitely has affected us here, our figures have definitely dropped as a result of it. It has made a huge difference to the park, not only the road being closed but the misleading signs from Aldi roundabout saying 'road ahead closed' and many more after that, visitors just assumed the park was closed.

"While the impact hasn’t been too bad over winter because of covid, during the summer months it has been a massive problem because visitor numbers go down. Then once people find another little park to go to that is closer to them or easier for them then you lose that business and the footfall drops."
