After years of campaigning by councillors and nearby residents, the speed limit near Distington Crematorium will be lowered.
The decision to reduce the limit on the C4011 from 60mph to 40mph was approved at the county council’s Local Committee meeting.
The measure will now mean that the road, which also links villages such as Pica and Gilgarran, will have the same speed limit as that near Cumbria’s only other crematorium, in Carlisle.
