A public meeting has been called to discuss the closure of two bridges over the A591.
Westmorland and Furness Council has invited residents and businesses in Brigsteer and Helsington, Underbarrow, Levens and surrounding communities to attend a public meeting on the closures of Brigsteer and Underbarrow bridges.
