A ROAD between Downham and Twiston is temporarily closed until March 3.

The county council warns motorists that Twiston Lane is shut, between Downham Vicarage to its junction with Skeleron Lane, so that British Telecom can lay underground cables.

The emergency services have been informed and access to properties will be available at all times. The alternative route is along C583 Pendle Road to Four Lane End and then on to Twiston Lane.
