  • Waberthwaite & Corney Parish Council
    Waberthwaite & Corney Parish Council This is the submission on behalf of Waberthwaite & Corney Parish Council to the Boundary Commission for the Electoral Ward Boundaries in Mid and South Copeland. In identifying these wards, the following aspects and consideration were taken into consideration: Ease of access and communications for the public and public services The “sense of place” that these communities have had for decades Population density and appropriate numbers of elected members to the recommended ward boundaries The proposed naming of the wards, (Yellow = Mid Copeland, Blue = South West Copeland, Green = South East Copeland) gave consideration to reducing the possibility of conflict and or angst relating to historic terminology. They provide a logical description relating to the actual location to assist tourism and service providers. Mid Copeland (Yellow Area on the map) will include the Lake District National Park Authority Service Centre of Gosforth. There are many shops, restaurants, library and village hall. Mid Copeland links Seascale with its shops, supermarket, library, three churches, leisure facilities, primary school, surgery that covers down to Bootle, and railway station with the wider valley areas. The Low Level Waste Repository at Drigg is a major employer in the area and is sited close to the railway station. Within Holmrook there is a vehicle repair centre, a well‐stocked garage/local shop and an agricultural supplier/post office all based on the A595.This would be a two‐member ward South West Copeland (Blue area on the map) has the A595 running almost its full length. It has railway stations at Ravenglass (with access to Boot via the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway), Bootle and Silecroft.
