Distington Parish Plan 2005
Voluntary Action Cumbria DISTINGTON CP Distington Parish Council Distington Parish Development and Action Plan 2005-2010 Prepared by Distington Parish Council The Parish Of Distington The Parish of Distington is situated four miles from Workington and Whitehaven, and ten miles from Cockermouth, and is made up of the villages of Distington, Gilgarran and Pica plus the surrounding area. The population of 2247, recorded in the 2001 census, shows a decrease of 270 on the 1995 figures which was already down 107 on the 1991 figure, making a total reduction of 377 or 10.3% in just 10yrs. This is a trend, which may have turned around since 2001, as the housing association now report that there is a waiting list for housing in the Parish. In the past, the Parish was largely dependent upon farming, coal mining, iron making and High Duty Alloys for its income. All of these industries have declined over the years. There is now no coal mining or iron making, and High Duty Alloys and farming are much reduced in the number they employ. Most of the Community now has to travel to the neighbouring towns and further a field for employment, which is made difficult for some by the scarcity of public transport, especially for those who cannot drive, and in particular the school leaver. The 1995 census showed that of the 972 households in the Parish 295 did not own a car, which is 34% a reduction of 4% on the 1995 figure of 38%. The census also showed that 19% of the residents were over 65, with a further 27% over the age of 45, statistics which many believe will have increased considerably over recent years, meaning that there will be a greater need for better public transport, and a greater demand for recreational activities. -
