Welcome to Duddon Parish Council

The Organisation

Duddon Parish is situated in South West Cumbria, mainly within the Lake District National Park, and was formed in 1976 to incorporate the old parishes of Broughton West, Seathwaite with Dunnerdale and Angerton.

The Parish

The Parish stretches from the summit of Wrynose Pass in the North to the Duddon Estuary on Morecambe Bay in the South.

Broughton-in-Furness
The main town within the parish is the small ancient market town of Broughton-in-Furness, which has a Charter dating back to 1575.

The Valleys
Contained within the wide boundaries of the parish are the Duddon Valley, much beloved by Wordsworth, the secluded Lickle Valley, the beautiful Woodland Valley and the marshes of Angerton on the Duddon Estuary.

The Communities
The main hamlets in these valleys comprise Woodland, Broughton Mills, Ulpha, Dunnerdale, Seathwaite, Cockley Beck & Angerton.

A595 Grizebeck Improvement Scheme

07

October 2025

Good afternoon,

We can confirm the project is progressing to programme, and you will have noticed significant developments on site. The construction of the new bridge is nearing completion and is scheduled to open to traffic in early November. Once the new bridge is operational, the temporary road will be removed.

To safely connect the new bridge with the existing road network, a temporary closure of A595 will be required. During this period, the temporary road will also be closed to prepare for the removal.

The A595 will be closed between the Community Hall and Dove Ford on the following weekends:

Saturday 25^th October - Sunday 26^th October

Saturday 1^st November - Sunday 2^nd November

Closures will be in effect from 7:00 AM on Saturday until 5:00 PM on Sunday on both weekends.

A signed diversion will be in place via the A5092, A590, and A595, passing through Greenodd, Ulverston, and Askam-in-Furness. Access will be maintained for emergency service vehicles throughout the closure period.

We understand that road closures can be disruptive, and we sincerely appreciate your continued patience and cooperation as we work to deliver the scheme.

We will keep you updated as we continue our works via the Westmorland and Furness website, our social media pages and the A595 Grizebeck Project mailing list.
