Meanwhile, further essential works are set to be carried out in the town starting from tomorrow as a lane closure on Colne Road will be put in place, allowing Vodafone Groups to install a new root for a mast.

And finally, in the Ribble Valley area, Trough Road, Dunsop Bridge was closed at 12:00pm yesterday afternoon from Sykes Farm Cottage to allow BT to replace a pole.While there’s further maintenance works on Whalley Road, Read, putting multi-way signals in place to allow BT to carry out works on that road.
