Cumberland Council will be carrying out essential carriageway patching works on Priory Drive in Cleator Moor.
The works will take place on Priory Drive in Cleator Moor and are scheduled to begin on Tuesday 26 May 2026, lasting for approximately four days, subject to weather conditions and site requirements.
The improvements are part of the council’s ongoing highway maintenance programme, ensuring roads remain safe and in good condition for local communities.
To ensure the safety of both the workforce and the travelling public, the works will be carried out under an official road closure, with a signed diversion route in place throughout.
The road will be closed from 8:00am to 4:00pm each day.
During the works:
- Access will be maintained for emergency service vehicles
- Pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will still be able to pass through the area
- Waste collections will continue as normal throughout the duration of the works.
Cumberland Council recognises that the closure may cause some temporary disruption and thanks residents for their patience while these essential improvements are carried out.
