access to church during weekend road closures
Many of you will be wondering how to get to church without a pass during the road closure of the A595 beginning on May 12th and running for at least 10 consecutive weekends. At a meeting on April 26th at Parton Village Hall Steve Mason from the Highways Agency confirmed all church attendees would just have to explain to the gatekeeper they are going to church and that they will be let through.
So whether you're coming from the north or south the following guidance is intended to make it as simple as possible for you. If you usually come down Rosehill I would advise joining the A595 further south and following the first instructions here...
From the South - arrive at the Pelican garage on the A595 and explain to the gatekeeper that you're going to St. Bridget's church. You will be let through and will then follow the diversion down first brow through Foundry road in Parton and up to church.
From the North - arrive at the Distington roundabout (with Lakes college on your right) and turn right towards Harrington. After a few hundred meters turn left towards Distington golf course - explain to the gatekeeper you are going to St. Bridget's church - then turn first left after the golf course to drive through Lowca and arrive at church.
If you have any further queries you are able to contact the public liaison officer Stephen Tumelty on 07834 418 160 or at stephen.tumelty@aeyates.co.uk
