Potholes

Potholes remain a perennial problem and can cause serious damage to vehicles if not repaired. Any resident who encounters a problem is encouraged to report it to Lancashire County Council as Highways Authority. This can be done via the LCC website or the "Love Clean Streets" mobile app, details of both of which can be viewed via the link: report a pothole .
HARP - Haweswater Aqueduct Resilience Programme.
Posted: 10th May 2026
HARP - Haweswater Aqueduct Resilience Programme. HARP is a major scheme to maintain drinking water supplies across Cumbria, Lancashire and Greater Manchester for future generations. The Haweswater Aqueduct is a 110km pipeline which runs from the Lake District, through Lancashire and into Greater Manchester. Completed in the 1950s, the pipeline needs essential maintenance to ensure it can continue to supply customers for generations to come. United Utilities proposed plans include the replacement of six tunnel sections along the pipeline route. Up-to-date information is provided by United Utilities on a dedicated website 'HARP - Water for the North West'. When available, updates will be given on the Parish Council Facebook page
