Derbyshire County Council is responsible for assessing the viability of the A57 Snake Pass in connection with the Tour de France Femmes. The Council has admitted that a long-term solution to the numerous active landslips on the pass is unlikely ahead of the 2027 visit. Despite this, the Council stated they are working to proactively manage the situation and remain confident the road can be used for the race.
