Planned June Closure of promenade and Silverdale Road

Information About the Forthcoming Closure of Arnside Promenade/Silverdale Road Mid to Late June

Information has been received regarding the upcoming resurfacing works scheduled to take place on the Promenade and Silverdale Road. Advanced warning signs are already out around the village advising of a commencement date for the works of 19th June for 17 nights, however, due to poor weather, the resurfacing programme is now running slightly behind. The new commencement date for the works is Monday, 23rd June, however it is possible that this date will move further back if poor weather continues to cause delays with the programme. We will be informed of any further changes.

The works are estimated to take up to 18 shifts to complete (weather depending) and the extent of the resurfacing bed is highlighted in red on the attached plan.

In order to undertake the works safely and in compliance with current health & safety legislation, a full road closure will be in effect between 6:30pm and midnight each shift. Works will not take place over the weekend.

Access for emergency services and residents/businesses will be allowed when possible and if safe to do so. In order to keep disruption to the public as minimal as possible the works will be phased. Currently the contractor plans to commence works at the Ashleigh Court end of the site and close off a shorter section, complete this then head west, working in several shorter sections along the promenade and then up Silverdale Road; however, this may change but again, we will keep you updated.

A signed diversion route will be in place (via Briery Bank and Black Dyke Road) and letters to local businesses and residents fronting onto the closure should be received next week. The letters will contain contact details for the resurfacing contractor and the traffic management contractor, and residents are free to speak to any of the marshals on-site whilst the works are in progress to discuss any specific access arrangements etc.

The above dates are indicative, and are subject to change due to overrun of the programme/poor weather conditions etc, but we will be kept updated.

Update On Recent Changes to the 552 Bus Service

Following complaints about recent changes to the bus service to include Silverdale and Carnforth, Westmorland and Furness Council are investigating the issue.

Data from recent journeys show that the arrival times are erratic with the service sometimes running on or close to time, and on other days significantly late – although there is no apparent pattern. On some days the bus appears to leave Carnforth on time, but loses time on the way to Arnside, possibly delayed by roadworks or other obstructions outside the control of the operator.

There are concerns about the time being allowed between Carnforth and Arnside, so if there is a re-occurrence of the problem, please contact the Council’s Scheduled Bus Services team on 01228 226433 so the issue can be brought to the company’s attention.

The best place to find the current timetable, or any timetable for the area, the Council’s own website as that gets updated whenever services change, including warnings of forthcoming changes: westmorlandandfurness.gov.uk/buses/service/552 (for other services just add the service number in place of 552). A paper copy of the timetable can be posted out if necessary by ringing 0333 240 6965 (option 1) in office hours Monday to Friday.
