Motorists and residents have been advised that there will be a series of road closures because of the annual bonfire and fireworks display at an East Lancashire historic monument.

The popular event will take place at the Grade II heritage listed Clitheroe Castle which dates from the 12th century on Saturday, November 4.

The event is expected to attract thousands of bonfire enthusiasts to its surrounding grounds.

The closures will be in place from 8pm to 10.30pm to ensure people are able to exit the field after the event and leave safely.

The roads affected are Eshton Terrace between the Franklin Street and West View junctions and Parson Lane between the Bawdlands and Station Road junctions.

There will be no alternative route during the traffic order but access to properties in Eshton Terrace and Parson Lane and side streets affected by the closures will be maintained.
