Road closures have been announced - affecting a stretch of Morecambe Prom - for filming of scenes for hit TV crime drama The Bay.
A temporary traffic regulation order is in place for this Thursday, May 28, on Marine Road East from its junction with Broadway to its junction with Lord Street, from 6am to noon, and then from the Lord Street to Northumberland Street junctions from noon to 6pm.
There is also a traffic regulation order for Skipton Street, Back Crescent Street, Graham Street, Derby Street, Tunstall Street and Anderton Street from 6pm to 8pm that day.
These will temporarily prohibit any motor vehicle, cycle or pedestrian (except for filming participants) from the roads.
Traffic signs on Marine Road say that residents' access and businesses will be open as usual.
"The police, fire and ambulance services have been informed and emergency access will be maintained at all times," says the order, issued by Lancashire County Council.
"The temporary prohibitions are necessary to enable the filming of the television series The Bay.
"The prohibitions will only be operative when indicated on site by the presence of the appropriate traffic signs in accordance with The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016.
"Diversions will be signed locally."

A further traffic regulation order will prevent traffic and pedestrians from using the Coastal Road from the entrance to Cheyette Fitness to the junction with Elm Grove from 9am to 3pm on Thursday June 11.
The cast and crew of the Morecambe-based show recently returned to the town to shoot scenes for its sixth series.
Last week they filmed at the fairground on the Promenade, shops around the Queen Street area, and inside The Lord Nelson pub on Nelson Street.
Cast members Daniel Ryan and Andrew Dowbiggin have been pictured visiting The Palatine in Morecambe, alongside Chris Taylor-Hone from the pub.
"Look who has come to see me today!" posted Chris on the Morecambe's Palatine Facebook page.
"They enjoyed using our upstairs space as their green room so much yesterday, they have come back for drinks on their day off!"

For the new series, Morecambe’s Major Investigation Unit is back, investigating the murder of teenage foster child Logan Marsden.
As tensions rise across the community, hidden connections begin to surface.
It was confirmed in November that a sixth series of drama had been commissioned by ITV.
Since beginning on ITV1 in 2019, The Bay has gained a huge following as a fictional team of Morecambe police try to solve crimes amid the beautiful and sometimes haunting backdrop of the town and the surrounding area.
The fifth series of The Bay aired on ITV1 in 2025.
The show was co-created and written by Lancaster-based Daragh Carville.
