Marra Mode is how your mate would tell you down the pub over a pint. Switch it off for the straight version.
Heads up Lowca: a 110m bit of Solway Road by the East Road junction shuts from Monday 23 November for about four days. That's cars, walkers and bikes. There'll be a signed way round.
If you live in Lowca, drive along Solway Road, do the school run or walk the dog round there, take note.
Cumberland Council's shutting a bit of Solway Road so some utility work can get done. It's about 110 metres, starting from where it meets East Road.
It kicks off on Monday 23 November and should take four days, so through to the Thursday, going by the roadworks listings. And it's everyone, not just cars. No walkers and no bikes through either.
There'll be a signed diversion for drivers, using the bit of Solway Road that's still open and East Road. The notice doesn't say who's doing the work or what it's for.
These little closures crop up all winter while the gas, water and electric lot get their jobs done. Dates can shift, so check nearer the time. Lowca's only small, so it's worth working out how the diversion affects your usual run before Monday week.
What to do: sort a different way round for those four days, and give yourself a few extra minutes if you're driving through. If you walk or cycle that stretch, you'll have to follow the signs round. Any questions, ring the council's Highways Hotline on 0300 373 3736 and quote TTROC/20285. The full notice is on the Public Notice Portal.

It is due to start on Monday 23 November and is expected to last four days, with roadworks listings showing it running to Thursday 26 November. The closure applies to all traffic, including vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, so there will be no way through on foot either.
An alternative route for vehicles will be signed, using the part of Solway Road that stays open and East Road. The notice does not say which utility company is carrying out the work or what it is for.
