Cumbria County Council would like to thank the community for their continued support and patience while the highway network is improved. The county council apologies for any inconvenience caused by these improvements.
Councillor Keith Little, Cumbria County Council Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, said:
"We would like to thank the community and businesses for their continued support, while we improve the road network.
“We have had some challenging weather last week, which has caused a slight delay in our resurfacing plans, which we hope hasn’t been too much of an inconvenience for the local community. We are working diligently to complete the project by the end of January.
“Again, we appreciate the support and patience of the public, as we work to make the roads in Currock safer and smoother for everyone."
