Although recorded in Carlisle, we need to acknowledge how supportive David Allen - Cumbria Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner has been in our attempts to make Castletown's B5288 safer. There are fewer overweight vehicles breaching Norfolk and Newton Roads 7.5ton access only, thanks to him.
He contacted, on residents, behalf Gilwilly estate businesses, sat nav companies and others. He also listened to concerns at a meeting including Our thanks and best Christmas wishes to them both.
Sadly, however, the highways authority and ward councillors have been less helpful or supportive. That means the fight (and it has become a fight) get the council to listen, meet and improve road weight signage, as requested, continues into 2026.

Polite request ! Can those using vehicles to access their Brackenber allotments, please be a bit more considerate, for those who choose to access by foot ? Beware pedestrians and have the good manners to least acknowledge when they stand aside to let you and your and vehicle pass. Thanks
