They've been washed away twice this year but the famous Tarr Steps on Exmoor are this evening open to walk across once again.

But local businesses say it shouldn't have taken so long to repair them. They say trade has been badly damaged.

Local resident, Judy Carless "The road closures have just been a terrible nightmare, they have affected traders very, very badly"
