DEX/4 CORONATION HALL NEW LIGHTING EQUIPMENT (Director of People and Places) Summary A successful capital bid had enabled the Council to source replacement modern, up-to-date lighting equipment for Coronation Hall. Approval was now sought to accept the lowest quotation for the works. Note – The tender summary was provided in Appendix 2 in Part ll of the Agenda which was excluded from inspection by members of the public in accordance with Section 100 (B) of the Local Government Act 1972, as amended by the Local Government (Access to Information) (Variation) Order 2006, and , in all the circumstances of the case, it was considered that the public interest in maintaining the exception outweighed the public interest in disclosing it. Copies of the document were excluded, as it contained information as described in Schedule 12A of the Act as follows:- - Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information). (Paragraph 3) Decision That the quotation from the supplier for the Coronation Hall new lighting equipment, as identified within the Part II Appendix 2 to the report, be accepted. Reasons for Decision Investing in the Coronation Hall lighting is part of the Social Enterprise Service Plan 2012/13 that contributes to the Council’s Corporate Plan objectives. Alternative Options Considered and Rejected Cease the installation of new lighting equipment altogether, in which case the Council is on “borrowed” time with much of its old equipment, and failure during a production could result in compensation claims and reflect adversely on the Hall as a major venue. .

  • 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.

They were subsequently submitted to the Secretary of State, examined by the Planning Inspectorate and formally adopted by the County Council in January 2011. At a very late stage in the process, there was a successful legal challenge in connection with a procedural matter and the documents were quashed by the High Court. It is, therefore, necessary for the consultations to be repeated before the documents can be resubmitted to the Secretary of State. The challenge was about the inclusion, without a further round of consultations, of an Area of Search for sand and gravel known as M12 Roosecote quarry extension in Site Allocations Policy 7. This Area of Search was intended as a possible replacement for the nearby Roose sand and gravel quarry near Barrow in Furness, which is a Preferred Area in the policy.

A quarter of the population is of pensionable age which is slightly higher than the Cumbrian average. It is an active community with a church, primary school, village pub, and a number of clubs and groups. The Project In November 2005 a steering group was formed to take forward the coffee shop idea. At that meeting the name, format, timings, finances, products to sell, promotion and start date were all agreed and responsibilities allocated. The recently refurbished village hall was chosen as the venue and the “coffee shop” opened in February 2006. It runs every Wednesday 2pm to 4pm with lunch at 1pm once a month.
