This plan is the result of the contributions of people from all sections of our community living and working within Millom. Working together they identified the need for a plan of action to regenerate Millom and a Steering Group of committed individuals was formed to ensure that this idea is realised.

  • ED Profile Millom
    Millom Electoral Division Profile 2017 Overview of Electoral Division Millom is a rural fair trade town on the edge of the Lake District National Park, within the district of Copeland. The town is isolated in the south of the district bordering the neighbouring districts of South Lakeland and Barrow in Furness. Millom has its own Town Council. It is a 45 minute drive to either of the nearest large towns, Whitehaven or Barrow whilst Kendal is an hour's drive away. The Parish of Millom and Millom Town Council includes the neighbouring ward of Haverigg. Haverigg however sits in the Electoral Division of Millom Without. Millom has a railway station and frequent bus service to Barrow and Haverigg. The Division has two primary schools and a secondary school with a 6th form, but no facilities for further education. Accessing further education is difficult due to the distances involved.

The largest employer for the area is Her Majesty's Prison at Haverigg. Millom is set on the Duddon estuary which is a dynamic and diverse environment.

  • Millom and Haverigg Flood Report DRAFT
    Millom and Haverigg Flood Investigation Report 30th September 2017 Cumbria County Council This flood investigation report has been produced by Cumbria County Council as a Lead Local Flood Authority under Section 19 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010. Version Undertaken by Reviewed by Approved by Date Draft Helen Renyard / Making Space for Doug Coyle January 2018 Gavin Murray Water Group Final 2 Serving the people of Cumbria Executive Summary Cumbria County Council as Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) has prepared this report with the assistance of other Flood Risk Management Authorities as it considers necessary to do so under Section 19 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010. Millom and Haverigg are situated on the west Cumbrian coastline in the south of the county with Duddon estuary directly to the east. Many watercourses discharge into the estuary with Duddon River as the primary source. On 30th September 2017 an intense rainfall event occurred which at its peak had an intensity of 19-21mm/hr. The rain soon overwhelmed the drainage systems and surface water began to rise, flooding an estimated 261 residential properties including commercial. As part of the investigations the LLFA has gathered information from affected residents by means of site visits and a flood forum where members of the public provided information. Many surveys of various assets in the area have been carried out including highway drainage systems, public sewers including pumping stations and the performance of associated watercourses. From the information gathered it was identified that the cause of the flooding was due to the intense rainfall event overwhelming the drainage assets, however, in some locations it may have been compounded by faults on some of the drainage systems.

  • 'Matter Matters': Topographical and Theological Space in the Poetry Of
    169-185 Cooper (Q8D):160 x 235mm 16/02/2009 17:33 Page 169 ‘Matter Matters’: Topographical and Theological Space in the Poetry of Norman Nicholson DAVID COOPER Lancaster University I would make a poem Solid as a stone, a thing You can take up, turn, examine and put down (Norman Nicholson)1 Writing in 1956, the Faber poet Norman Nicholson (1914–87) asserted that ‘Christianity is one of the most materialist of religions. It holds that matter matters’.2 This article will explore how a Christian understanding of phenom- ena informs Nicholson’s own poetic practice and underpins his inextricable intertwining of theological and topographical concerns. Drawing upon recent theoretical developments in both literary and theological studies, the essay will focus on Nicholson’s first three collections — Five Rivers (1944), Rock Face (1948), and The Pot Geranium (1954) — and highlight the writer’s exploration of a range of strategies for developing a Christian poetry of place and space.3 It will argue that Nicholson, in his early work, moves towards an incarnational poetics that is predicated upon a phenomenological understanding of being and dwelling; and central to this discussion will be an examination of the way in which a dialectic of spatial boundedness and boundlessness underpins, and problema- tizes, Nicholson’s expression of what it means to be-in-the-world. Through a spatialized reading of Nicholson’s Christian poetry, this article hopes to open up conceptual thinking about a writer whose work was supported and published by T. S. Eliot, but who presently occupies a peripheral position within the history of twentieth-century British and Irish poetry.

  • Copeland District Deprivation Summary
    District Deprivation Summary Copeland 2015 The Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) The IMD are produced by the Department for Communities & Local Government (DCLG) to consider the unmet needs of small areas, known as Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs), caused by a lack of resources of across seven domains: Income; Employment; Education Skills and Training; Health and Disability; Crime; Barriers to Housing and Services; and Living Environment. In addition to the above, there are two supplementary indices: The Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI); and The Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI). Deprivation scores for each LSOA across all of the above domains are also combined to create an overall Index of Multiple Deprivation score and rank for each LSOA. When deprivation scores are combined for all LSOAs in Copeland, the district is classified as the second most deprived district in Cumbria for overall deprivation and falls within the 30% most deprived nationally for overall deprivation. It also falls within the 20% most deprived nationally in terms of employment deprivation and the 10% most deprived nationally in terms of health & disability deprivation. The following six LSOAs in Copeland rank within the 10% most deprived of areas in England: Figure 1: Copeland’s LSOAs that rank within the 10% most deprived in England: LSOA Ward District Overall ID Score Overall ID Rank (higher = more (out of 32,844 deprived) nationally) E01019263 Cleator Moor North Copeland 70.992 238 E01019267 Cleator Moor South Copeland 57.559 1,158 E01019277 Frizington Copeland 51.594 1,946 E01019280 Harbour Copeland 49.872 2,243 E01019295 Mirehouse Copeland 47.683 2,654 E01019301 Sandwith Copeland 46.827 2,821 Source: IMD, DCLG, 2015 Seven domains: There are 3 LSOAs which rank within the 10% most deprived of areas in England in relation to Income deprivation, these fall within the wards of Harbour, Sandwith, and Mirehouse.
