Planned June Closure of promenade and Silverdale Road
**UPDATE 17/7/25** Westmorland & Furness Council have informed us that, all being well they should be able to finish up the last section of resurfacing and then the relining during the Friday night shift (18th July 2025), but, if not, then this may roll over to Monday night. We will keep you posted as to any further delays.
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.
