PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING URGENT AND IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION RECEIVED FROM CUMBRIA COUNTY COUNCIL HIGHWAYS DEPT.:

"A temporary road closure has been put in place to allow Cumbria Highways to carry out carriageway resurfacing works which are expected to commence 9th November 2020 and anticipated to take 5 days to complete.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the short notice in relation to these works.  A decision was made today that as a result of the current COVID 19 lock down restrictions and to reduce the disruption to the travelling public once these restrictions are eased that these works would be brought forward from its original programmed date in December.  This will ensure the works are complete before lock down restrictions are lifted, to the allow activity to local amenaties and attractions in the village without the disruption of a road closure.

Please see below details of the extents of the closure, a location plan clearly showing these extents can be found on one.network via link https://one.network/?tm=119437866
