These sessions are an opportunity for Penrith BID members and local businesses to understand the planned works, expected disruption, diversion routes and the impact on travel, visitors, staff movement and deliveries. Representatives will be on hand to answer questions and gather feedback.
Drop-In Engagement Events:
Monday 8, Tuesday 9, Monday 15 & Tuesday 16 December – Rheged Centre, CA11 0DQ
9.30am to 5pm each day
Wednesday 10 December – Tebay Methodist Church, CA10 3XB

Saturday 13 December – Engagement van in Penrith (location TBC)

Businesses likely to be affected by changes to road access, particularly those relying on weekend trade, staff commuting, deliveries or tourism, are encouraged to attend a session and speak directly with the project team.
Penrith BID will continue to share updates as more information becomes available.
