People living in Kelston will be able to find out more about a road closure that has effectively cut off their village.
The A431 Kelston Road was closed in February because of a landslip. At the time Bath and North East Somerset Council said the road was too dangerous with tests showing the ground is slipping by as much as seven metres below the road surface.
A spokesman said it was not safe for cars, bikes or pedestrians to be on the stretch of road, which is the main route between Bath and Bitton.
The closure is causing chaos along the A4 and Keynsham bypass with long delays being experienced on the main route into the city.
Kelston Parish Council has called the meeting, being held at the village hall from 6.30pm, to allow councillors to talk with B&NES Highways officers.
Chair Doug Creed said: "I want it to be reasonably constructive. There's no point blaming each other we are where we are. We need some constructive dialogue with B&NES so we are kept in the loop and B&NES need to realise there's some degree of urgency because of the inconvenience."
Mr Creed added that the meeting was not closed to the public but there would be limited space.
