  • Muncaster Parish Plan
    MUNCASTER PARISH PLAN September 2007 Foreword Fellow Parishioners, The Muncaster Parish Plan was made possible by funding from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) through Voluntary Action Cumbria (VAC) and the willingness, dedication and commitment of members of the Parish Council to take on the task of producing it. So what is the Parish Plan and what is its purpose? Make known those issues that affect our community Identify and prioritise key issues within our community Produce an action plan to promote the changes that the community wants to see at local, district and county levels. Quite simply the plan gives everyone in our community an opportunity and a feel for what you the Parishioner wants. This process started by members of the Parish Council approaching all the groups and businesses within the Parish to ascertain specific ideas and questions that they wished to have included within the questionnaire. This proved to be a worth while exercise and gave us a real feel for how the plan would be shaped and received. Once the questionnaire was formulated, distributed to you and returned a long data-input process ensued and enabled us to extrapolate the information contained within. This document is a summary of the information gathered and the proposed actions to be taken. Details of the questionnaire responses and analysis of the data are available upon request to the Parish Clerk. The results of those processes are contained within this Plan and I commend it to you; after all it is YOUR plan and as such is owned by the Parish.

Careers education across the key stages p5-7 5. Employers and the local market p8-9 6. STEM p10 7. Support for students with SEND p11 8. Access to independent and impartial careers advice p12 9.

Context The world of work is becoming increasingly complex and there is more pressure for young people to make important decisions about progression pathways and career goals earlier in their education. It is essential that the students of Millom School are equipped to take on these challenges. Effective careers education, information, advice and guidance across all key stages is fundamental to achieving this. The DfE’s statutory guidance 2017 [1] quotes: “Every child should leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. This means ensuring academic rigour supported by excellent teaching, and developing in every young person the values, skills and behaviours they need to get on in life. All children should receive a rich provision of classroom and extra-curricular activities that develop a range of character attributes, such as resilience and grit, which underpin success in education and employment. High quality, independent careers guidance is also crucial in helping pupils emerge from school more fully rounded and ready for the world of work. Young people want and need to be well-informed when making subject and career decisions.” The Gatsby Foundation’s report into ‘Good Career Guidance’, which was a comprehensive piece of research collating best practice careers advice and guidance across secondary schools in the UK but also in six other countries, where careers guidance is considered ‘good’ [2], identified 8 benchmarks of good careers guidance.

To enable it’s voice to be heard as part of the consultation. To keep Parishioners informed and enable them to understand and express their views. We wish to respond to respond to the North West Coast Connections Project - on the projects ‘Initial Needs Case and suitability for tendering’ being undertaken by yourselves. Especially to comment on the 400KeV connection south of Moorside. We have a close link with our community, residents, businesses and visitors understanding how the community functions and its various needs, maintaining community cohesion and to improve wellbeing and quality of life. In all why our area is special within the UK. Our knowledge and understanding we believe shows that we can be considered as an Interested Party in the Ofgem Consultation. Ofgem Consultation Themes Is there a technical need for the project? How National Grid have reduced their options to the one being taken forward to the planning consultation Is the project or sections of it suitable for competitive tender? We note with interest Ofgem’s statement: ‘Overall, we consider that a sensible and logical process has been followed to narrow down NGET’s proposed design. However, we consider that the decision between NGET’s favoured use of a tunnel under Morecambe Bay and an alternative approach of using subsea cables around the bay is relatively finely balanced.

  • Drigg & Carleton Parish Council
    Drigg & Carleton Parish Council This is the submission on behalf of Drigg & Carleton Parish Council to the Boundary Commission for the Electoral Ward Boundaries in Mid and South Copeland. In identifying these wards, the following aspects and consideration were taken into consideration: Ease of access and communications for the public and public services The “sense of place” that these communities have had for decades Population density and appropriate numbers of elected members to the recommended ward boundaries The proposed naming of the wards, (Yellow = Mid Copeland, Blue = South West Copeland, Green = South East Copeland) gave consideration to reducing the possibility of conflict and or angst relating to historic terminology. They provide a logical description relating to the actual location to assist tourism and service providers. Mid Copeland (Yellow Area on the map) will include the Lake District National Park Authority Service Centre of Gosforth. There are many shops, restaurants, primary school, two churches library and village hall. It is linked to Seascale by the B5344 and the newly opened Viking Way multi user cycle link. Seascale has shops, supermarket, library, three churches, leisure facilities, primary school, surgery that covers down to Bootle. It has railway stations at Drigg and Seascale linking it to the wider Copeland area as no bus routes are available. It is host to three Sites of Special Scientific Interest at Drigg sand dunes, Holmes meadow and Hall Senna Moor and home to Britain’s favourite view at Wasdale. It also hosts the Sellafield Nuclear Licensed site and the Low Level Waste Repository at Drigg which have a close working partnership with these communities built up over several years.
