Ravenscar: Rural community fears being cut off by landslip

He explained their village was 600ft (183m) above sea level and bad weather would make the steep route impassable.

The family worried this would mean the school commute would not be manageable.

“The kids go to Lindhead School and Scalby School, towards Scarborough, and the diversion takes us completely the opposite direction,” Mr Bowes added.

“For a four-year-old, it’s an hour to school, two hours each day. It’s not acceptable in the long term.”

Pointing to the damaged road, which had crumbled away, Mrs Bowes said: “We need to get it fixed before winter sets in.

“If not, my children will not get to school, we will not get groceries and the community will be totally cut off.”
