Roadworks will take place from St Bridget’s Lane, Egremont, to its junction with Nelson Square until February 5.

Road closures will enable Electricity North West to carry out utility works. Vehicles will be prohibited from proceeding along that section of road in the meantime unless they are covered in the list that follows.

A way for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will be maintained at all times and a suitable alternative route for vehicles will be signed and available via Nelson Square, Central Avenue and Castle Villas.

1. Apply to emergency service vehicles, or vehicles being used by statutory undertakers in the performance of their duties; and

3. Have the effect of preventing at any time access for pedestrians to any premises situated on or adjacent to the road, or to any other premises accessible for pedestrians from, and only from the road; and

4. Apply to vehicles being used in connection with the Works.

Anybody whom these circumstances do not apply to should follow the rules accordingly and avoid the area specified until the work is completed on February 5.
