    Flood Management

    ​The wonderful dry summer weather was followed by an extremely wet autumn. Since Storm Desmond in 2015, the local authorities have restructured the way they monitor the river levels and manage potential flooding. During the very wettest period in late October, they were meeting every 2 hours and their communication with Parish Councils was excellent. This bodes well for the future. We post important information like weather warnings and road closures on our Parish Facebook Page so please keep an eye on those posts.

    We have received the following information from Highways England
    This email is to inform you of road marking renewal works being planned at various sections along the A590 between Ulverston and Brettargh Holt Roundabout. Works are expected to start at the beginning of October and run for approximately five weeks.
    Various traffic management arrangements will be required to carry out these works safely, though all work will be done at night. It’s anticipated that nine nights will require full closures of the A590 at points between Newby Bridge and Brettargh Holt. A diversion route via Windermere will be well signed.
    More details will be provided closer to the anticipated start date.
    Any queries about the work, please contact us on 0300 123 5000. Or you can email us on info@highwaysengland.co.uk.
