Two-week road closure to fix resurfacing 'defect'

A road will be closed for about two weeks while remedial resurfacing takes place to fix previous problems.

The works, on the A595 in Whicham Valley, near Millom in Cumbria, are starting on Monday.

Cumberland Council said the work was to fix "defects" from previous resurfacing and would be completed at the contractor's expense.

A full road closure will be in place from Monday to Friday between 07:00 and 19:00 BST.

Access will be maintained for emergency service vehicles, pedestrians and dismounted cyclists throughout the works.

Waste and recycling collections would continue as usual, the local authority said.
