  • Port of Workington Railway Bridge Reopens to Motorists
    Port of Workington railway bridge reopens to motorists June 8, 2021 A new railway bridge has reopened to motorists in Cumbria after a major upgrade at the Port of Workington. The £4m investment has seen Siddick bridge completely rebuilt to modern standards so it can take port traffic over the Cumbrian Coast Line railway. On Monday (7 June) vehicles were able to travel over the bigger and better structure improved as part of the Great North Rail Project. The new 8.4-metre wide bridge will restore two-way traffic to the key port. This means faster and smoother access for the thousands of vehicles which haul 500,000 tonnes of cargo in and out of the site each year. The multi-million-pound railway bridge replacement was funded by Network Rail, Cumbria County Council, and the Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership. Roisin Nelson, sponsor at Network Rail, said: “It’s been a pleasure for the railway to pool resources with our Cumbrian partners to create a new platform for future jobs and global trading opportunities at the Port of Workington. “Not only does the new overbridge allow more logistic traffic to travel to and from the port, but it also helps make the Cumbrian coast line below stay safe and reliable for passengers and freight for decades to come.” Cllr Keith Little, Cumbria County Council’s cabinet member for highways and transport, said: “I’m delighted that the bridge is now reopening to motorists – the new bridge is key to local connectivity, further growth at the port, and the future development of the wider region.

  • A Statement on New Coronavirus Tiers
    Mark Jenkinson MP Member of Parliament for Workington House of Commons, London SW1A 0AA Tel: 020 7219 3000 A STATEMENT ON NEW CORONAVIRUS TIERS I am incredibly disappointed by todays announcement that the whole of Cumbria will be in Tier 2 of the new restrictions from 2nd December, as I know are many of my constituents. The narrative for Cumbria’s restrictions in the Written Ministerial Statement, laid in parliament by the Secretary of State today, does not properly reflect the situation in Cumbria which has four of it’s six districts occupying the four places at the bottom of the North West table on latest available positive case data – with all districts reducing. The same narrative acknowledges that spikes in Carlisle and South Lakeland are down to two outbreaks in local schools, while it appears to punish 6 districts for the infection rates in the over 60’s in just two, Carlisle and Barrow. I supported the four week lockdown very reluctantly, with the promise that it would get control of the virus. I was asked to give the government that four weeks. My constituency of Workington, which sits entirely within Allerdale but does not cover the whole of Allerdale, went into that lockdown in Tier 1 – but we emerge after four weeks in a Tier 2 that is stricter than the previous Tier 2. The last four weeks have been hard – the last 8 months even harder. I am delighted to see vaccines on the horizon that may allow us to get back to spending time with our loved ones, while also protecting them.
