The owners of an art gallery say months of roadworks outside their business contributed to their decision to permanently close.
Ben and Carlie-Rose Bush, owners of the Bridge Gallery in Cockermouth, said partial road closures following the collapse of the Old Courthouse left them cut off from the rest of the town.
With their closure due in August, the couple said the repairs were the “straw that broke the camel’s back” alongside the cost of living crisis and government changes.
Cumberland Council said the bridge, which has had partial closures in place since October, was now open to two-way traffic and pedestrian access had been maintained throughout.
