  • Community Led Plan 2019 – 2024
    The Community Plan and Action Plan for Millom Without Parish Community Led Plan 2019 – 2024 1 1. About Our Parish Millom Without Parish Council is situated in the Copeland constituency of South West Cumbria. The Parish footprint is both in the Lake District National Park or within what is regarded as the setting of the Lake District National Park. This picturesque area is predominately pastoral farmland, open fell and marshland. Within its boundary are the villages of The Green, The Hill, Lady Hall and Thwaites. On the North West side, shadowed by Black Combe, is the Whicham Valley and to the South the Duddon Estuary. On its borders are the villages of Silecroft, Kirksanton, Haverigg, Broughton in Furness, Foxfield, Kirkby in Furness, Ireleth, Askam and the town of Millom. On the horizon are the Lake District Fells which include Coniston, Langdale and Scafell Ranges and is the gateway to Ulpha, Duddon and Lickle Valleys. Wordsworth wrote extensively of the Duddon, a river he knew and loved from his early years. The Parish has approximately 900 Residents. The main industry in this and surrounding areas is tourism and its relevant services. Farming is also predominant and in Millom there are a number of small industrial units. The Parish is also home to Ghyll Scaur Quarry. 2. Our Heritage Millom Without is rich in sites of both historic and environmental interest. Historic features include an important and spectacular bronze age stone circle at Swinside, the Duddon Iron furnace, and Duddon Bridge. The landscape of Millom Without includes the Duddon estuary and the views up to the Western and Central Lake District Fells.

    Copeland Unclassified Roads - Published January 2021 • The list has been prepared using the available information from records compiled by the County Council and is correct to the best of our knowledge. It does not, however, constitute a definitive statement as to the status of any particular highway. • This is not a comprehensive list of the entire highway network in Cumbria although the majority of streets are included for information purposes. • The extent of the highway maintainable at public expense is not available on the list and can only be determined through the search process. • The List of Streets is a live record and is constantly being amended and updated. We update and republish it every 3 months. • Like many rural authorities, where some highways have no name at all, we usually record our information using a road numbering reference system. Street descriptors will be added to the list during the updating process along with any other missing information. • The list does not contain Recorded Public Rights of Way as shown on Cumbria County Council’s 1976 Definitive Map, nor does it contain streets that are privately maintained. • The list is property of Cumbria County Council and is only available to the public for viewing purposes and must not be copied or distributed.

  • Parish of Whicham Community Plan Cumbria April 2012 PARISH of WHICHAM COMMUNITY PLAN: CUMBRIA
    Parish of Whicham Community Plan Cumbria April 2012 PARISH OF WHICHAM COMMUNITY PLAN: CUMBRIA INTRODUCTION Parish plans are produced by and for local communities under government legislation. They provide an opportunity for local people to work together and develop a shared vision for the future of their community. Parish Plans will inform strategic documents at local, district and regional level. The Parish of Whicham is unusual in the dominance of the land mass of Black Combe, which accounts for two thirds of the area; a long coastline and a sparse population centred on two villages Silecroft and Kirksanton, and the hamlets of Whitbeck and Whicham. This Community Plan is the culmination of individual residents’ commitment, vision and love for a special place. For some in the community the relevance of this process has been heightened by the recent successful campaign against the proposed building of a new nuclear power station on a Greenfield site in this parish adjacent to the Lake District National Park boundary [2009-2010]. This document will explain the stages in the Community Plan process, from the underlying principles for having a locally driven plan, to the involvement of individuals, questionnaire development, consultation and summary of results. Finally, how the plan is taken forward with wider community involvement will be discussed. WHY HAVE A COMMUNITY PLAN? Under laws laid down by the Council for Europe [Council of Europe Treaty Series no.176], governments are requested to accept the need for long-term stewardship of each country’s heritage, landscape and culture, while recognising the major issues facing society today.
