CUMBRIA Police has put out a warning to drivers ahead of this year's Appleby Horse Fair. 

A spokesperson from the police said 'let's make road safety everyone's priority.' 

"You may come across slow-moving vehicles in the area so please drive with care. 

"Let's make sure everyone reaches their destination safe," they said. 

This year's fair will be from June 6 to June 12. New measures under this year's Traffic Regulation Order include 30mph speed restrictions in Appleby to reduce traffic speeds where motorists would normally be able to travel faster. 

There will be a one-way traffic restriction on the Boroughgate side road in Appleby. 

Laura McClellan, from Westmorland and Furness Council, said: "The 40mph speed restriction on Powis Lane and temporary road closure outside The Midland, from its junction with Clifford Street to its junction with Station Road, will be in operation again for the 2024 Fair."
