- The council postponed a planned 3 October gathering after the 29 September court step.
- The route is expected to remain open during the extension period.
- The underlying access dispute continues and can produce further changes.
A temporary reprieve, not a final settlement
The municipal council says it expects a two-month extension of the suspension of a provisional closure order. The access has been the subject of court proceedings and concern from fishing, port and public-service organisations.
An expectation reported by the council is not the same as a final judgment. Road status and restrictions may change as the proceeding develops.
Check before a time-critical journey
Operators should use current municipal, port and traffic information before moving perishable goods, crews or equipment. A known alternative route should remain part of contingency planning.
Businesses affected by the dispute should retain official notices and seek their own legal advice where rights, contracts or losses are involved; a news report cannot determine those questions.
