A ROAD near Maryport Golf Course has been closed due the likelihood of danger to the public.

In a notice served by Cumbria County Council the passage of all traffic along a section of the C2008 from its junction with the B5300, extending in an easterly direction for a total distance of about 200 metres, is closed to all traffic.

This is as a result of the dangerous condition of the carriageway.

The notice will be in force for a period of up to 21 days from June 21, as and when the relevant signs are displayed.

It is likely that after this time the authority will issue a further 21-day notice and if necessary follow that with a temporary 18-month order.

A suitable alternative route for vehicles will be available via the unrestricted section of the C2003, the A596 and the B5300.

Any queries to the Highways Hotline 0300 303 2992 or email TTRO.west@cumbria.gov.uk, quoting the reference AL21-314.
