The schedule has been shared for the Remembrance Day service in Ulverston, along with the road closures that will be in place.

The service will start at Ulverston Parish Church at 2.30pm, with no parade to the church itself this year.

The procession will then parade along Church Walk and King Street to Market Place for the laying of wreaths at approximately 3.40pm, with full road closures in effect.

The council explained that the lack of an initial parade was due to the possibility of the police not being able to assist with the event.

A spokesperson added: "The Town Council has two members of staff trained in Traffic Management for Community Events along with several volunteers from the community who also took the course.

"Unfortunately despite the traffic qualification, staff and volunteers assisting with the road closures would not be able to pull any vehicles over who may be approaching the parade.

"This has happened several times in previous years and the Police Sergeant has always pulled them over to ensure the safety of the parade and spectators.

"The police have confirmed they are now able to support the parade but if they are called to a serious incident elsewhere, Town Council staff and volunteers will be required to run the parade without them.

"We completely understand the importance of this event for the community of Ulverston and we want to be able to guarantee a safe and successful event for all involved."

There will also be a short act of Remembrance at the War Memorial from 10.50am to 11am on Monday, November 11 led by the Royal British Legion.
