A road closure in Ulverston has been scheduled to allow utility work to be carried out.

The closure of U5703 Hillside Road, Croftlands, will allow Fibrus to carry out utility works which are expected to begin on Monday December 16 and take three days to complete.

The closure will be in place from the junction with Maple Avenue, in a north westerly direction for around 75 metres.

There is no suitable alternative route available for vehicles but access for emergency vehicles will be maintained.

A way for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will be maintained at all times.
