Image reproduced with kind permission of Ordnance Survey and Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland. We are a small school situated about 10 miles outside the village of Millom on the busy A595 which is the main route along the west coast of Cumbria to Whitehaven and Workington. The speed limit on this road is 60mph. The village itself is served by narrow rural roads in and around the nearby estuary. Our school is situated in its own grounds with a large parking area at the front and a large hard standing playground. Waberthwaite School Travel Plan 5 Current situation and transport links • All but four children travel to school by school bus, 3 travel by school taxi and only one infant travels by car. • The taxis/mini buses drive in and out of the car park unless it is a larger bus and it parks outside the car park on the road. • The children have to cross the local village road to access the village hall where they have their PE lessons and various activities. Traffic has been leaving the main road (national speed limit) and entering the road past the school at a similar speed. A feasibility study is taking part on speed reduction and safety measures on the A595 and investigating a pedestrian crossing point to the village hall. • They are currently building a bus shelter opposite school for the schools buses which take the secondary children to and from Millom. • School hours are 8:50am – 3:15pm but children are dropped off from 8:30am. After school clubs usually take place 4 days a week and these finish between 4:15pm and 4:30pm. Children are picked up by their parents. • The school car park is also used by the local village hall on Tuesday afternoons and their finish time coincides with schools so makes for a very busy time. • Some of the employees of the local sausage and ham business also use the car park during the day. • School only has one entrance, there is a small kissing gate and a larger gate for when delivery vehicles need to be in the playground. This leads out of the car park. • The car park is not marked into parking bays. • Cycling proficiency for year 6 • Road Safety role play with Foundation • There are no children with special additional travel needs Current transport links • The X6 stagecoach bus service runs from Whitehaven to Muncaster Castle and stops twice a day at Waberthwaite. The times do not coincide with the school start and finish times (see appendix 12) • Microbus has a twice weekly shopping trip • There are no cycle routes or safe walking paths which serve school and access is from the main busy A595 • The nearest railway station is Bootle 3 miles away • One child travels by car from Broughton and the school bus routes are from Bootle and Ravenglass – (see appendix 9) Waberthwaite School Travel Plan 6 3 Aims and Objectives Aims Our School Travel Plan aims to: • Maintain current school bus usage • Prevent casualties on the journeys both to and from the school • Encourage car sharing • Improve road and personal safety awareness Objectives (linked to Action Plan – Section 9) • Administration: Set up and sustain a school travel plan working group. Review and update annually.(9.5) • Links: consultation with working group, parish council and local community • Health: increase travel and health awareness (9.1/9.4/9.5) • Curriculum: integrate BWTS initiatives into the curriculum via PSHE, Citizenship • Communication: involve and engage the community and school in BWTS (9.4/9.5) • Training: provide pedestrian training and cycle training (9.1) • Promotion: include in School Development Plan (9.4).

  • Muncaster Parish Plan
    MUNCASTER PARISH PLAN September 2007 Foreword Fellow Parishioners, The Muncaster Parish Plan was made possible by funding from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) through Voluntary Action Cumbria (VAC) and the willingness, dedication and commitment of members of the Parish Council to take on the task of producing it. So what is the Parish Plan and what is its purpose? Make known those issues that affect our community Identify and prioritise key issues within our community Produce an action plan to promote the changes that the community wants to see at local, district and county levels. Quite simply the plan gives everyone in our community an opportunity and a feel for what you the Parishioner wants. This process started by members of the Parish Council approaching all the groups and businesses within the Parish to ascertain specific ideas and questions that they wished to have included within the questionnaire. This proved to be a worth while exercise and gave us a real feel for how the plan would be shaped and received. Once the questionnaire was formulated, distributed to you and returned a long data-input process ensued and enabled us to extrapolate the information contained within. This document is a summary of the information gathered and the proposed actions to be taken. Details of the questionnaire responses and analysis of the data are available upon request to the Parish Clerk. The results of those processes are contained within this Plan and I commend it to you; after all it is YOUR plan and as such is owned by the Parish.
