It was agreed to reiterate ADPC’s position supporting the proposed ban of cyclists on Portinscale Bridge. The gritting routes are being updated for winter 2020/2021, school routes are being included in the priority routes, it was noted that the road by Middle Ruddings needs gritted. CCC Highways meeting – Winter Ready – explaining how the system works. CCC receive a weather update at 1pm, and if frost is forecast the gritters will be instructed to grit. It uses less grit to prevent ice forming than curing the ice. Some roads have heat sensors in and there are cameras monitoring the road conditions too. The Working Together scheme will hopefully progress in spring 2020. The road from Newlands – Braithwaite condition was noted again. The continued use of the highways hotline/website was noted as being positive. Double yellow lines towards Catbells and on Whinlatter need repainted on to the road. 3 trees by the primary school are also in need of attention. 145.2 Allerdale Borough Councillor – Carmel Bell did not attend the meeting despite numerous Requests to attend. No responses have been received. The Clerk to contact ABC regarding the non-attendance.

The Environmental Information Request regarding the Service inlet in Braithwaite has been received and noted. 146.3 Risk Assessments for Defibrillators – To defer to the February meeting due to the absence of Cllr David Sanderson 146.4 Speed issues – It was agreed to inform Cumbrian Police of the following areas which ADPC request speed monitoring: 1. Braithwaite - outside the primary school, with a view to gain 20 mph speed limit. Justification: outside primary school and opposite HPB, no footpaths present up from Middle Ruddings into village, to address pollution, requested as part of the community plan. 2. Portinscale - outside Dorothy Well - past Farmers Arms and at the end of Rickerby Lane - with a view to gain 20 mph speed limit. Justification: no footpaths along this part of the road so lots of pedestrians to and from holiday lets/B&Bs/residents to and from pub, to address pollution, and request as part of the community plan. 3. Thornthwaite - overwhelming evidence that the 30mph speed limit is not adhered to within the village (data gathered from community speed watch organised in conjunction with police in spring 2019). To be sited between the bus shelter and Thornthwaite Grange. Current speed limit is 30mph, with a view to gain 20 mph speed limit. Justification: no footpaths along this part of the road so lots of pedestrians to and from holiday lets/B&Bs/residents and drivers do NOT stick to current speed limit, to address pollution, and requested as part of the community plan. 4. Thornthwaite/gallery A66 junction - deep concern re the junction. Cars overtake from Keswick when driving westwards, when vehicles are slowing to turn left into this junction. The act of overtaking takes them over double white lines, into the red box and into right hand filter lane of oncoming eastbound traffic. Countless residents have cited multiple experiences of the law being breached and personal near misses. Eastbound traffic forced to stay in left hand lane and not turn into right hand filter lane. Residents now drove along old A66 past a nursery to the Middle Ruddings junction to exit onto A66 where it is felt to be safer due to island in middle of road. Linked with this, is the excessive speeds along this strip of A66. There is an issue of speeding from Keswick Junction, past Portinscale to the Thornthwaite/Gallery junction The Clerk to send to Cumbria Police. 146.5 Climate Change working group – No update available 147/20 Action Reports/Updates from Councillors 147.5 Policies – the following policies were adopted: Policy Date of Adoption / Latest Review Date for Review Category Training Policy Jan-18 Jan-20 C 147.6 ADFG – No written report if received.

Sub group to meet once more members join. Tree blown down and needs removed at Braithwaite junction – Clerk to report to Highways England. 147.8 Lengthsman report – the report to parish councillors prior to the meeting was noted. 148/20 Applications for Development 148.1 The following application/s for development were considered: Ref no.

  • Newlands Valley Walk
    Newlands Valley Walk You can start this walk from virtually anywhere in the Newlands valley; I started from a couple of our Lake District cottages at Birkrigg on the Newlands Pass. Walk down the road in the direction of Keswick, you will soon come to a tight bend at Rigg Beck where the ‘Old Purple House’ used to stand. There is now a Grand Designs style house on the site but the purple colour remains on the roof garden and the front door. Carry on along the pass till you come across a gate on the right hand side and a finger post indicating a footpath beyond the gate. The path leads down into the valley fields and across a minor road. A track climbs up the other side of the valley and emerges at Skelgill. Walk through the farmyard and turn immediately back on yourself to join the path that runs alongside Catbells, towards the old mines at Yewthwaite. After about half a mile, the path descends into Little Town where you can enjoy a well earned cup of tea at the farm tea room. Now there are two options from Little Town. For a longer walk, go back up onto the track and carry on down the valley. This will take you to the old mines at Goldscope where you can peer into the open shafts on the side of Hindscarth. Alternatively you can walk along the road towards Chapel Bridge and stroll down the lane to the pretty little church. The church serves tea and cake on weekends and during the summer.

RIVER DERWENT CATCHMENT BOARD It is barely a hundred years since the artificial draining of Agricultural land in Great Britain was systematically taken in hand because the growth of population increased the demand for food. At first everybody concerned put his energies into "field drainage" while the effect upon main rivers was not considered, but as time went on and towns absorbed all the increase in population (which is now four times as great as that of 1811) the effect of Land Drainage became evident, and floods of the greater rivers grew more sudden and were the cause of serious inconvenience to the population dwelling in the houses along their banks.

  • Inn Way to the Lake District
    Walking Holidays in Britain’s most Beautiful Landscapes Inn Way to the Lake District The Lakes Inn Way is a 90 mile circular walk starting and finishing in the popular tourist town of Ambleside. This trail takes in some of the more remote corners of the Lake District, and takes you through the Lake District’s stunning deep sided valleys, along lake shores and over remote mountain passes – as well as past over 40 traditional Lakeland inns. The full route takes you through the popular tourist towns of Ambleside, Coniston, and Grasmere (site of Dove Cottage, former home of the Romantic Poet Wordsworth), as well as through a few of the Lake District’s most impressive valleys – Borrowdale, Ennerdale, and Great Langdale, linked together with paths over high mountain passes, with great views of the surrounding fells. A highlight is a visit to remote Wasdale Head, in the shadow of Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England. Why is the route known as the Inn Way to the Lake District? Because it is devised so that at each day the route passes a pub at lunchtime and there will always be one nearby – or you will be staying in one – at each overnight stop. There are many traditional Lakeland Inns to choose from, – so you can plan your trip looking forward to log fires, local ales and good food, often made with local produce.

  • Cumbria Classified Roads
    Cumbria Classified (A,B & C) Roads - Published January 2021 • The list has been prepared using the available information from records compiled by the County Council and is correct to the best of our knowledge. It does not, however, constitute a definitive statement as to the status of any particular highway. • This is not a comprehensive list of the entire highway network in Cumbria although the majority of streets are included for information purposes. • The extent of the highway maintainable at public expense is not available on the list and can only be determined through the search process. • The List of Streets is a live record and is constantly being amended and updated. We update and republish it every 3 months. • Like many rural authorities, where some highways have no name at all, we usually record our information using a road numbering reference system. Street descriptors will be added to the list during the updating process along with any other missing information. • The list does not contain Recorded Public Rights of Way as shown on Cumbria County Council’s 1976 Definitive Map, nor does it contain streets that are privately maintained. • The list is property of Cumbria County Council and is only available to the public for viewing purposes and must not be copied or distributed.
