Britain's 'wonkiest road' so badly damaged it was used as a makeshift skate park finally reopens today - after a £5M fix.

Around 100 metres of the B4069 near Lyneham, Wilts., was badly disfigured during storms in February 2022.

The damage was so significant it looked like the area had been hit by an earthquake - and skaters used it as a makeshift ramp.

The road has been closed ever since but is set to reopen today - Wednesday April 2.

The work, which included constructing a 108m-long retaining wall and cost £5m, was completed on behalf of Wiltshire Council.

Wiltshire councillor Alison Bucknell said:

"It has been a long, slow journey to get to where we are today."
