Waberthwaite & Corney Parish Council
Waberthwaite & Corney Parish Council This is the submission on behalf of Waberthwaite & Corney 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, library and village hall. Mid Copeland links Seascale with its shops, supermarket, library, three churches, leisure facilities, primary school, surgery that covers down to Bootle, and railway station with the wider valley areas. The Low Level Waste Repository at Drigg is a major employer in the area and is sited close to the railway station. Within Holmrook there is a vehicle repair centre, a well‐stocked garage/local shop and an agricultural supplier/post office all based on the A595.This would be a two‐member ward South West Copeland (Blue area on the map) has the A595 running almost its full length. It has railway stations at Ravenglass (with access to Boot via the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway), Bootle and Silecroft. -

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. -

As with last year’s tour we have planned a circular journey but with options for timings to suit individual preferences for the amount of time spent at Whitehaven and Carlisle. Whilst most people will be coming from Manchester, the notes are based around the circular route: Lancaster-Barrow-Whitehaven-Carlisle-WCML-Lancaster. Before describing today’s route, the Notes start with a brief introduction to the alternative proposals for the rail line from Preston and Carlisle that eventually resulted in the West Coast Main Line we are familiar with today. Timings allow for a lunch break in Whitehaven. Alternatively, one can stay on the train taken from Barrow to its destination in Carlisle. This gives flexibility to adapt the tour to personal preferences. Principal timetable options are shown below.
