A Polite Request from Westmorland and Furness Council to close the route for two days.

 A temporary road closure has been put in place to allow BT Openreach to carry out utility works which are expected to commence 27th October 2025 and anticipated to take 2 days to complete. It’s on Oxenholme Lane from  Long Meadow Lane northeastwards.

A Polite Request from St. Mark’s School

The school needs the help of drivers to support a voluntary one-way system during school terms at drop off (8.45-9.15) and pick up times (3.15-3.45).  The route would be in down Oxenholme Lane, then keeping left on the Village Green and turning left after the church, up Helm Lane.

The roads around school become extremely congested during these times – blocked junctions, impatient manoeuvres and residents having difficulty leaving and returning to their homes. It can also be an anxious time for the safety of children walking to and from school.

A voluntary one-way system is about co-operation between the school and the village, not about imposing restrictions on residents.  With your support there can be a real difference to daily life in Natland – less stress, improved safety and the fostering of a considerate community spirit.

 Thank you all for your understanding and support.
