Full Proposal for Establishing a New Unitary Authority for Barrow, Lancaster and South Lakeland
Full proposal for establishing a new unitary authority for Barrow, Lancaster and South Lakeland December 2020 The Bay Council and North Cumbria Council Proposal by Barrow Borough Council, Lancaster City Council and South Lakeland District Council Foreword Dear Secretary of State, Our proposals for unitary local government in the Bay would build on existing momentum and the excellent working relationships already in place across the three district Councils in the Bay area. Together, we can help you deliver a sustainable and resilient local government solution in this area that delivers priority services and empowers communities. In line with your invitation, and statutory guidance, we are submitting a Type C proposal for the Bay area which comprises the geographies of Barrow, Lancaster Cllr Ann Thomson Sam Plum and South Lakeland councils and the respective areas of the county councils of Leader of the Council Chief Executive Cumbria and Lancashire. This is a credible geography, home to nearly 320,000 Barrow Borough Council Barrow Borough Council people, most of whom live and work in the area we represent. Having taken into account the impact of our proposal on other local boundaries and geographies, we believe creating The Bay Council makes a unitary local settlement for the remainder of Cumbria more viable and supports consideration of future options in Lancashire. Partners, particularly the health service would welcome alignment with their footprint and even stronger partnership working. Initial discussions with the Police and Crime Commissioners, Chief Officers and lead member for Fire and Cllr Dr Erica Lewis Kieran Keane Rescue did not identify any insurmountable barriers, whilst recognising the need Leader of the Council Chief Executive for further consultation.

History of St. Pauls
St. Paul’s Church St. Paul’s Church, is a plain Gothic church, with straight headed windows with round-arched lights in the Henry VIII tradition. The construction shows a massive profession of faith in the past. (1) It has always been the centre of village life since 1671 when it was consecrated, although it had been built around 1669. More so in 1900 than it is in the year 2000, when we celebrate the birth of Christ, it has to be said, but nevertheless it still holds its place. Witherslack seceded from Beetham in 1811 to become a parish in its own right. Meathop and Ulpha, which were also in the Parish of Beetham, were joined to Witherslack as a parish in 1891. After a lot of argument with the Vicar, the tithes went to Beetham until the Incumbency changed. John Barwick bequeathed money in his Will to provide a new burial ground because hitherto the dead had been carried on a perilous journey, particularly during the winter months, across the treacherous sands of the tidal estuary to the mother church of Beetham for burial. St. Mary's church situated near to the Manor House was in a 'ruinous state' after the Civil War. Therefore Peter Barwick and the parishioners petitioned the Bishop of Chester for a new church and burial ground and the present chapel of ease was built on land granted by Charles eighth Earl of Derby and consecrated by the Bishop of Chester in June 1671. Money was also left to provide for a school, no doubt remembering the journeys he had made to school with his brother (first to Heversham and then to Sedbergh).

Living Lakes
Pre-Submission Local Plan Living Lakes Your Local Plan #ShapeTheLakes April 2019 Credit: Andrew Locking Andrew “TheSection 1 IntroductionLake District is an2 evolving masterpiece, shaped and modified by people, culture, farming and industry for thousands of years.” Lord Clark of Windermere, 2015 Section 1 Introduction i Foreword Since our Core Strategy was adopted in 2010, planning policy has undergone some significant changes as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). As such, we need to ensure our plans are fit for purpose and conform to national planning policy. The new Local Plan will be our strategic plan for development for the Lake District up to 2035. Our aim has been to produce a planning framework that delivers the homes, communities and countryside that the Lake District wants and needs. We want to deliver our vision for the Lake District to be ‘an inspirational example of sustainable development in action’. The Lake District received its inscription as a World Heritage Site in July 2017. In the longer term we want World Heritage Status to be a positive force to support new investment in the Lake District’s cultural and natural environment, its communities and economies. One of our key challenges is to enable growth to provide housing and jobs whilst conserving the landscape and its Special Qualities and attributes of Outstanding Universal Value. We have gathered evidence and listened to our communities, businesses and stakeholders to find out what the key issues are in the Lake District and how we can use this plan to deliver those aspirations. This Plan is a result of consultation and engagement with our communities, businesses, organisations and stakeholders.
