Gosforth – Sat 2nd Dec 2023

The arrival of snow in Gosforth last Saturday resulted in traffic unable to get up the hill which then caused an increasing number of motorists stuck in deteriorating conditions. Cumbria Police called us, knowing that the base could possibly be used for welfare should the situation become prolonged and the weather worsen. Some local team members were able to walk to base and open up. However, a short while later the road was able to be gritted with the help of a local farmer and the traffic got moving again. The team closed up the base and stood down.
