Logie-Bear Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Anyone know why the black gaet has been cordened off by the police? We drove out of town heading home to scalloway and got turned around at the junction near gulberwick, so we had to drive back into town and take the long way home The junction was coned off and there was a police van with its lights flashing.

Hobbiniho Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 car crash perhaps must be pretty bad if the road is closed lets hope its nothing serious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logie-Bear Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Im not sure the news report is quite correct. Ive just been into town and the road is still closed. I dont think it has been open at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
