Victoria Bridge in Kendal remains closed due to scour damage to the east bridge pier sustained during recent heavy rainfall (July 20 and 21). The bridge will re-open as soon as it is safe to do so, but the works are dependent on dry weather conditions and low river levels.

A replacement road bridge on the A683 between Kirkby Lonsdale and Sedbergh is set to open ahead of schedule on Friday 2 August.

This month Cumbria County Council will continue a county-wide LED replacement programme across Copeland and Allerdale as part of a £5.3m three year county-wide street lighting replacement and improvement scheme.
