Derbyshire police have confirmed that a major road in the Peak District National Park had to be closed on Monday afternoon, August 15, after a bomb was found nearby. The device was uncovered by workers carrying out excavations on land near Dale Head Road. Posting on their Facebook page, officers from Buxton Police Safer Neighbourhood Team advised drivers to avoid the area at around 1pm adding that the road had been closed due to an “incident”. However little information was given as to what the incident was to have caused the road to be closed. Derbyshire Live contacted the police force to find out and they confirmed to us that it was the discovery of a bomb that prompted the road to be closed near the Buxton Raceway. Bomb disposal experts were called to the scene to make the device safe with the road reopening a short time later, just over an hour or so after it had originally been closed for safety reasons. In a statement, a spokesperson for Derbyshire police said: “We were called to Dale Head Road to reports of a bomb which had been found on land there by workers carrying out excavations. “The road was closed for safety and the Explosive Ordnance Division attended to make the device safe. The road has now reopened.”
