A test run to move parts for a new windfarm in north Cumbria takes place tomorrow.

Components for 125 metre high wind turbines will be on the move to Hallburn Wind Farm near Longtown in the coming weeks.

Short delays are expected on the A7 and in the centre of Longtown on the run through.

It will travel along the A69 from Newcastle, joining the M6 at junction 43. It will then join the A7 at junction 44 of the motorway and is expected to arrive in Longtown just before noon.

It is ahead of the start of deliveries, which will begin next Saturday and will be complete by October 20.

Sixteen convoys, each consisting of three vehicles with police escort, will transport the components.

Hallburn Wind Farm will consist of six 2.2MW wind turbines which will generate electricity equivalent to the needs of around 10,100 households.
