⚠️ United Utilities emergency works in Lower Darwen
We've just been notified that United Utilities needs to carry out emergency repairs following a burst water pipe, which is affecting water supplies to local homes and businesses.
🚦 Temporary traffic lights will be in place on the busy roundabout connecting Fore Street, Duchess Street and Swan Farm Close, near the One Stop shop. This will impact on traffic in that area.
The lights are due to be installed this evening and are expected to remain in place tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.
🚗 Please consider using an alternative route if possible and allow extra time for your journey.
We don't yet know how long the emergency works will take, but we'll share further updates as soon as we receive them from United Utilities.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
