Due to the 'very serious risk to public safety' the road running along the western shore of Thirlmere has been closed since November 2021
Council bosses have issued an update about a Lake District road which has been closed for almost two years after storms damaged 1,500 trees.
"This made the road hazardous to all users. Damage was caused to adjacent land, known as Rough Crag, which is the responsibility of United Utilities, as the landowners. "These assessments have concluded that the hazards remain to all road users and therefore the road closure needs to continue. The Temporary Traffic Regulation Order has therefore now been extended and had approval from the Secretary of State to remain closed until 11 January 2024 to allow Cumberland Council to introduce a permanent order .
