Low Hollins Barn Frostrow Lane Sedbergh LA10 5JU 015396 21487 [email protected] 13 February 2013 Debbie Storr, Electoral Registration Officer, Community Governance Review, South Lakeland District Council, South Lakeland House, Lowther Street, Kendal, Cumbria, LA9 4UQ Dear, JOA) Community Governance Review I write in respect of South Lakeland District Councils current Community Governance Review and wish to respond within Stage One of the Review process on behalf of Dent Parish Council. At the meeting of the Parish Council on Monday 04 February 2013 details of the Community Governance Review were received. It was agreed to respond to the review recommending no change to the present Parish arrangements in the Parish of Dent, on the following grounds:- 1. The geographical position of the Parish naturally defines its boundary. 2. The relatively static population of the Parish leaves the community relatively unchanged. 3. The cohesive nature within the community and the way in which it works together is a very positive model for rural communities. 4. Inward investment within the Parish over the last several years has been significant which has enabled the Council to attract finance to undertake and complete projects successfully. Dent Parish Council requests that these comments are considered under the consultation arrangements of Stage One of the Review. Please could you acknowledge receipt of this communication at your convenience. Kind regards, ours sincerely, KENDAL TOWN COUNCIL Town Clerk Town Hall Elizabeth Richardson BSc (Hons) Kendal Cumbria Town Treasurer LA9 4DL John M. Hutchinson ACMA Phone: 01539 797597 Email: Fax: 01539 735984 [email protected] 27 March 2013 Dear Claire COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE REVIEW I am writing in response to the above consultation. Kendal Town Council would like to submit two points: 1 As the LDF crystallises and the development boundaries are set for Kendal we would wish the boundaries of Kendal parish wards to reflect this change. Otherwise this leaves us with development that is technically occurring in a neighbouring parish over which we have no planning say. This is no doubt an issue common to all Parish Councils and was raised at the recent CALC meeting. 2. The Parish Wards of Nether and Castle should sit within their respectively named CCC divisions to ensure historical consistency. We thank you for consideration of these points and look forward to hearing more as the review progresses. Yours sincerely Liz Richardson Town Clerk Cc ClIr J Willshaw, The Mayor of Kendal ClIr A Robinson, Chair of Management Cmttee Ms Claire Marsh Manager Electoral Services SLDC LOWER ALLITHVVAITE PARISH COUNCIL Sunnvside, Holme Lane, Allithwaite, Grange-over-Sands Cumbria. LAll 70D. Tel 015395 32639 lapc.clerlagmaiLcom 29th April 2013 Your Ref: Claire Marsh Electoral Services Manager South Lakeland District Council South Lakeland House Lowther Street Kendal LA94UQ Dear Claire Community Governance Review 2013 The Parish Council has considered all of the points relevant to its operations and would conclude that in the main the Parish Council functions adequately and serves its populace well. There has been consultation between Lower Allithwaite and Lower Holker Parish Councils and it is felt by both that problems arise with consultations in the Cark Airfield/ Lakeland Caravan Park area due to the boundary between the two parishes bisecting the area. Re-alignment of the boundary, so that this area was in one or other parish, was considered, but rejected as it was felt that activities requiring consultation affected both Parishes. The best solution to this problem was felt to be, making both parish councils joint consultees in any activities in this area. We would therefore recommend that this joint consultation be implemented in order to safeguard the interests of parishoners in both parishes. Is this something which can be implemented as part of the review or should this be taken up through other channels. Yours sincerely Phil Turner Clerk to the Council Kentmere Parish Clerk Brow Head Kentmere Cumbria LA8 9JL [email protected] Wednesday, 24th April, 2013 Ms. Claire Marsh Electoral Services Manager & Deputy Returning Officer South Lakeland District Council South Lakeland House, Lowther Street Kendal, Cumbria, LA9 4DQ Dear Ms. Marsh, SLDC Community Governance Review, 2013 Boundaries of Kentmere Parish I am writing to you in my capacity as Parish Clerk of the Kentmere Parish Meeting. Our Parish Chairman, Mr. lain Johnston, has been in touch with you, in connection with the SLDC Community Governance Review, 2013. There is a considerable feeling within Kentmere Parish that it would be beneficial to iron out some anomalies in the parish boundaries. The position was set out by Iain in the attached note. At the Kentmere Parish Meeting of Monday, 22nd April, 2013, a proposal to include Crofthead, Ulthwaite Fold, Boundary Beck and Millriggs within the Kentmere Parish was passed with 14 votes for and 0 votes against. In essence it was felt that these properties have a much more logical connection with Kentmere than with Hugill or Staveley. One concern that links them to Kentmere is our lifeline, the road up Kentmere valley. This is of minor concern to the parishioners of Staveley and of no concern to the parishioners of Hugill. Prior to the Parish Meeting lain Johnston had written to the residents of the above properties and solicited their views. As you can see, from the attached letters, all the respondents were strongly in favour of being part of the Kentmere Parish. They did not attend the Parish Meeting, as they feared (in my view incorrectly) that their presence might exert undue influence on other residents. As its submission to the SLDC Community Governance Review, 2013, the Kentmere Parish Meeting formally requests that the Kentmere Parish boundaries be altered so that the four properties above be included within the Kentmere Parish. If you require any further information, do not hesitate to contact me, or kin Johnston. Yours sincerely Peter Bettess, Parish Clerk Annual Assembly of Kentmere Parish Meeting — 22 nd April 2013 SLDC Community Governance Review 2013 South Lakeland District Council has commenced a Community Governance Review of all parishes within South Lakeland, in accordance with the Local Government & Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 and Local Government (Parish & Parish Councils) (England) Regulations 2008. The Council is now undertaking Stage One of the Review; its purpose is to enable the Council to consider what changes, if any, are required to existing parish arrangements within the District, to ensure that they reflect the identities and interests of the communities in the area and that they provide effective and convenient governance at the local level. The review began on 4 th February and any depositions should be with SLDC by 7th May 2013 The Terms of Reference for the Review have been published and can be viewed at the Council Offices, South Lakeland House, Lowther Street, Kendal, Cumbria LA9 4UQ, and are available on the Councils website at <www.southlakeland.gov.uk/cgr > along with other documents and information about the Review. Alternatively, contact the Councils Electoral Services Team for a copy of the Terms of Reference. Stage Two of the Review will look at the comments made in Stage One and propose options for any changes suggested as Draft Recommendations which will be published in July. Stage Three will provide a further period of consultation and final recommendations will be published in December before a Re-organisation Order in January 2014 Regarding Kentmere Parish Meeting: This would be an opportunity to iron out some anomalies in our parish boundary. Crofthead and Ullthwaite Fold are presently in Hugill Parish - over the hills with no direct access from the rest of that parish and yet are within the Kentmere Valley and have to use the valley road to access their properties which are only a matter of 100 metres or so from the Kentmere "border". Similarly Boundary Beck and Millriggs are both in Staveley parish but are at least a couple of miles from the next nearest house in Staveley and yet only yards from the Kentmere "border". The residents in these properties all seem to have more identity with Kentmere that with the other parishes. I have followed this through with Claire Marsh at SLDC who is responsible for this review and her advice is, "to formally set these required changes down in writing from the parish meeting. If at all possible, a letter from the residents of the affected properties requesting that they be included in the parish of Kentmere would really be helpful too." To make this possible the Parish Meeting will need to agree to a proposal to the effect that we ask for these four properties to be included in the Kentmere Parish. lain Johnston Chairman: Kentmere Parish Meeting KPM20130422-D5.pdf 08 April 2013 Croft Head Kentmere Kendal Cumbria LA8 9JH Tel: 01539 821540 e-mail: r.allen(t4croft-head.net lain Johnston — Chairman Kentmere Parish Meeting Pumple Syke Kentmere Kendal LA8 9JL 2nd April 2013 Dear lain, Thank you for your letter dated 15 th March regarding the SLDC Community Governance Review 2013. The geographical location of Croft Head in the valley of Kentmere while being in the parish of Hugill does seem to be an anomaly. As you mention the house is within 100m of the parish boundary and several miles from the main Hugill community of Ings. As a result we do not feel any affinity with our present parish and are drawn towards the parish of Kentmere. Your suggestion to seek approval for the two houses, Croft Head and Ulthwaite Fold to be included in the parish of Kentmere is appreciated. We would welcome this change and hope that it is acceptable to the Parish Meeting. Many thanks and best wishes, ( Richard and Sally Allen lain Johnston, Chairman Ulthwaite Fold Kentmere Parish Meeting Kentmere Pumple Syke Kendal Kentmere Cumbria Kendal LA8 9JH LA8 9JI., 20th April 2013 Dear lain SLDC Community Governance Review 2013 Thank you for your letter of 15th March — we are very pleased to be considered for inclusion within the Parish of Kentmere.

Barkway COUNCILLOR COLLINS was invited to address the meeting. He discussed the “Certificate of Lawfulness” issued to Mr Pennington trading as Kentmere Water Co., to extract water from the leadmines spring which is already connected to the Staveley public water supply. Although Mr Pennington has been able to establish that extracting water by means of road tankers would not in itself be a change of use for planning purposes, if this were to be done on an industrial scale, it might be reconsidered. In questions, it was suggested that, although the site is outside the parish, residents might be affected by a serious increase in road congestion. Councillor Collins also warned of a significant increase in next year’s Council Tax. MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS AGM HELD ON 13TH MARCH 1998 AT 8.27 P.M. The minutes were read and Mrs J. Otty proposed, Mrs A. Williams seconded the motion to accept them as a true record.

  • Exploring Cumbrian Churches

    Exploring Cumbrian Churches

    EXPLORING CUMBRIAN CHURCHES The visitor to Cumbria must not expect to find the large and stately parish churches of, say, East Anglia or Wessex. More typical of this area are the little friendly whitewashed churches of the dales, built late in the middle ages or in the seventeenth century, as plain and straightforward as the men who made them. Few buildings survive from before the Norman Conquest, although there are many interesting pieces of Anglo-Saxon and Viking age sculpture including two of the finest crosses in England, at Bewcastle and Gosforth. However, it is a great area of Norman churches; time and again you will find the heavy pillars and rounded arches typical of the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Due to the wars with Scotland which began in 1297 there was little cash to spare for church building in the Decorated and Perpendicular styles, although there are glorious exceptions in Carlisle Cathedral and Cartmel Priory. Eighteenth century prosperity gave the towns some fine new churches, as at Whitehaven, Workington and Penrith. Cumbria did not escape the Victorian passion for church rebuilding -indeed the poverty of earlier years meant there was essential work for the Victorians to do. The primary function of all churches, whether pre- Norman or present day, is as a place of worship; and it is hoped that visitors will spare some time from admiring the structure of the buildings to join the local congregations at their services. Carlisle The Cathedral is a small cathedral for a small diocese - but for all that, a fine building.

  • A Brief History of Kentmere

    A Brief History of Kentmere

    A Brief History of Kentmere Our story probably begins around 4000BC and it is likely that the first people to inhabit this valley were wandering groups who came here in the later Stone Age. At that time our hills were almost covered in forest and the few animals they had with them would graze along the edge of the wooded areas gradually clearing them. By Roman times much of the forest had been driven back so even in those early days farming had a significant impact upon the landscape and the farmers’ work over centuries eventually led to the attractive patchwork of fields, walls and woodland that we have today. It is probable that the first people to settle here were here came during the Iron Age. They would be Celtic farmers who between 100BC and AD400 built small communities in the valley. Four of these settlements have been discovered. The sites of their huts – although now little more that piles of stone – are still visible. The site at Millriggs is particularly interesting. A glass bracelet dating from AD150 was found there. The Romans came to this part of the world around AD90. They built a fort at Watercrook, Kendal and another at Galava, Ambleside and the road linking them ran through Kentmere. This road would be used by local people as well and perhaps there was a measure of trade with the Roman soldiers. Two places – ‘High Street’ and Broadgate’ show evidence of a paved road above Kentmere to the west although after the Romans left around AD400 the forts and roads all fell into disrepair and ruin.

    Mr Fay Writes...UVHS Is Proud to Introduce Vici!

    Mr Fay writes.... It is hard for me to believe that I am now in my eighth year as UVHS is Proud to Introduce Vici! Headteacher at UVHS. What a brilliant experience I have had. There was excitement in the air at Ulverston Victoria The school is in exceptional condition thanks to the hard High School on Tuesday 15th March during the Year 8 work of teachers, students, parents and governors. Such assembly. is our popularity across the Furness Peninsula, we are once Mr Taylor welcomed Sue Robinson the community fund again massively raiser for Cumbria from ‘Guide Dogs for the Blind’ who over-subscribed in gave a grateful speech to the students for their hard work Year 7 for 2016/17 last July in the Charity Walk. and we have had a record number of applications for our 6th Form next year. The effect of the new buildings is being felt by all of our community and as I write this the sun is shining! What more could a Headteacher ask for? Well, quite a lot actually...... I am not a person to be easily satisfied and I believe that our brilliant school still has further potential and that last year’s examination results, whilst representing a good stride, were still but a stepping stone on the journey of where this, once, sleeping giant should be travelling. If one thinks “job done” then the only route of travel is backwards! We must keep striving to improve Her message focused on thanks but emphasised that every the learning opportunities for all our students and, particularly, hour another person in the UK goes blind and the money for those who are identified as being in some way disadvantaged.

The stonework Some like Burneside are far more dilapidated; of the central part, the hall, and the cross wing on others like Sizergh have been transformed into the right shows that they were built up to a stately homes. But Kentmere has not changed hundred years after the tower. Before this there very much in the last 300 years. may have been an earlier Hall, probably a single storey building with a thatched roof on a timber frame. 2 The tower, with its complex battlements and turrets and its elegant window was built in an age when stone buildings were rare, and when the sandstone for the window surrounds had to be brought from miles away on packhorses. Another striking feature of the Hall is its position. There is no sign of an outer defensive wall, and the site is overlooked from high ground within easy bowshot on three sides. Despite the impressive machicolation, defenders on the roof parapet would have been an easy target. The Hall may have provided some security against a gang of unruly neighbours in the disorderly years of the later Middle Ages, we may suspect from its The main room of the first floor had an elegant position as well as its elegance that its builder was window facing south, a fireplace and a door into thinking more of prestige and status than of real the upper part of the hall, as well as doors to the tactical defence.
