A road in Maryport has been closed and the public warned away from the shoreline due to dangerous conditions from Storm Boelo.

Salmoor Way in Maryport has been closed at Cumbria Police's request due to dangerous conditions during Storm Boelo. The closure runs from the Marine Road turn-off towards the shore. People have been urged to avoid the area and respect barriers and instructions from emergency services.

Maryport Harbour Authority has also temporarily closed the road leading to the public slipway and the slipway itself. The authority cited large swells and the risk of debris being washed ashore as reasons for the closure.

The closures are in response to warnings of strong winds, high tides and large waves around Maryport Harbour. Salmoor Road will remain closed until further notice, while the harbour authority said the slipway and the road leading to it would reopen when conditions improve.
