Bin collections may be hit as road closures underway in Carnforth and Bolton-le-Sands

Bin collections may be affected by road closures in Carnforth and Bolton-le-Sands

Bin collections may be affected by road closures in Carnforth and Bolton-le-Sands for pre-Tour de France road works.

Lancaster City Council said their refuse wagons may reach some streets later than usual, as essential works were due to begin today (November 11).

The carriageway pre-surface patching works - ahead of the world famous cycle race coming through our local area next July - will run each day on 9am to 3pm until Wednesday November 18.

Market Street, Carnforth and Coastal Road, Bolton-le-Sands will be affected, said Lancashire Highways, with a traffic order also in place for the A6 Bye Pass Road at Bolton-le-Sands, the A6 Main Road at Bolton-le-Sands and A6 Lancaster Road at Carnforth.

"With temporary road closures expected to take place in the area from Wednesday 11 to 18 November, your bin collection may be affected," said a Lancaster City Council spokesperson.

"Our crews will work hard to collect your bins, but they may reach some streets later than usual. As always, please ensure that your bins are left out until 6pm for collections to take place.

"If your bins haven't been emptied by then, please leave them out and we’ll collect them as soon as possible.

"Thanks for your patience while we work around the closures. To find out what roads are affected, please visit Lancashire County Council's website."

Lancashire Highways said: "The works will move along the route as they progress, but the closure will remain in place between Market Street and Coastal Road.

"This is because there are no suitable points along this section where traffic can be safely diverted.

"Access for residents and businesses will be maintained throughout the works.

"Stagecoach services will use Shady Lane in Bolton-le-Sands as a turning point before rejoining Slyne Road.

"Please allow extra time for your journey and follow the signed diversion where required. Thank you for your patience while the work is carried out."

A temporary prohibition of through traffic order says that no motor vehicles will be allowed on Bye Pass Road from its junction with the A5105 Coastal Road to its junction with the A6 Main Road; on the A6 Main Road from its junction with A6 Bye Pass Road to its junction with A6 Lancaster Road; and the A6 Lancaster Road from its junction with A6 Main Road to its junction with B6254 Market Street during the closure period.

Pedestrian access to properties and emergency access will be maintained during the closures, and diversions will be in place.

The Tour de France will pass through the Lancaster, Morecambe and Carnforth area on Saturday July 3 2027, as Lancashire hosts an 80-mile stretch of the ‘Grand Départ’ event which is taking place across the UK.
