Lorry gets stuck in road it was sent to repair

A lorry has been recovered after getting stuck on a road it was sent to repair.

Somerset Council has confirmed contractors are working on Butleigh Moor Drove near Walton.

The local authority said the road was constructed on peat and had experienced "significant movement and rutting".

It added: "Issues of this nature can occasionally arise when carrying out works in these conditions." The vehicle was removed on Monday.

Somerset Council said the site would be assessed to determine the best way to complete the repairs.
