Morland Parish Council

We have received notification from Westmorland and Furness Council that the road from the top of Lowergate to the t-junction with the Kings Meaburn road will be closed for up to five days from 29 October. It’s unclear if this is the same as the closure for the highway maintenance that’s been going on this week.
