Total chaos yesterday with A75 closed all day (tree across road at Cardoness) - diverted traffic on A712 had to turn as that road blocked by two lorries going off the road. Official diversion eventually via Ayr, a mere 77 mile detour. We were trying to get to Carlisle for an appointment - travelled to Creetown on A75 - sent back to take A712 - just before Clatteringshaws managed to turn having been told road ahead also closed - eventually went home and had to cancel appointment. My point being that absolutely none of this was reported on our 'local' news channel!!
