Footage reportedly showing local residents stepping in to help repair the A591 road in Cumbria following flooding and landslides.
According to the filmer, Storm Desmond destroyed a section of the road between Grasmere and Keswick earlier in December.
"The military cleared 1,000 tonnes of rubble off the road in three days following the damaging floods, but since the army left, there has been little progress in getting the major road re-opened," he later wrote online.
This footage shows diggers and local residents helping to get the road back into action after Christmas.
