Roadworks are set to be carried out at Harrington which will affect traffic to Lakes College starting from Monday, January 30th.
The roadworks will last up to six weeks and students are advised to allow plenty of time to travel to college, especially on GCSE mock exam dates – Tuesday, January 31st and Thursday, February 2nd.
Stagecoach has recommended people catching a bus into college should get on an earlier bus, particularly at the start of the first week as disruptions are at their highest during the beginning of roadworks.
All bus passes including those issued by Cumbria County Council will be accepted if different routes need to be used.
