THE DRIGG CHARITY WHAT IS THE DRIGG PROW PROJECT? STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES To improve the Public Rights Of Way (PROW) network by increasing opportunities for access on foot, cycle or horse, and to widen the appeal to visitors and residents; To improve the existing Public Rights Of Way (PROW) network for a wider range of people with different needs (e.g. improved accessibility for wheelchair users/pushchairs, benches for elderly); To promote the improved network to encourage more use and better support for local services (e.g. shops, pubs, hotels, B&Bs, attractions and cycle and equestrian businesses); To better integrate the project with public transport services, and other links to popular destinations. In order to achieve these objectives we need to repair and improve the existing drainage and to re- surface many of the existing Public Rights Of Way (PROW) within the parish. In addition improved access is desired (e.g. replacing stiles with gates and replacing ironmongery on existing gates). We will also investigate the possibility of setting up new routes within the parish so that we can achieve another strategic objective not listed above and that is the establishment of an Off Road Multi user Link to Seascale and Gosforth LONG TERM PLANS A partnership has been established with the Countryside Access Team of Cumbria County Council (CCC), the body responsible for PROW. This partnership provides the means to facilitate joint funding of projects. As a consequence of this relationship a rolling Five Year Plan was initiated by CCC. This plan started in 2011 and has been updated every year since. The current update is for 2014 -2015. A similar arrangement has been established with the Lake District National Park whereby individual projects are identified. Prepared by Gary Creaser Page 1 .

Directions to NDA in Respect of the Drigg Nuclear Site
ENERGY ACT 2004 Directions to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (the NDA) in respect of the Drigg Nuclear Site Made under sections 3 and 16 of the Energy Act 2004 DRIGG SITE SUMMARY This summary is not part of the direction This summary is only intended to provide background information in respect of the Drigg Nuclear Site. It sets out the nature of the waste disposal, cleaning-up or decommissioning work that may be carried out on the site. However, subject to Ministerial agreement it is for the NDA, following consultation, to determine what the cleaning-up or decommissioning objectives for the site will be and to describe these objectives in its strategy. Under the Energy Act 2004 where the NDA has been given a responsibility it can secure the discharge of such responsibility by others. Operations at Drigg cover two separate work streams, the remediation of old magazines containing Plutonium Contaminated Material (PCM) and the ongoing disposal of Low Level Waste (LLW). In the 1940s Drigg was a Royal Ordnance Factory and the storage of PCM at Drigg between 1959 and 1967 is a legacy of early military operations at Windscale and other nuclear sites. This waste is now being packaged and despatched to the Engineered Drum Stores at Sellafield, before processing through the Waste Treatment Complex. In 1957 the site was developed for the disposal of LLW. The bulk of the material handled at Drigg comes from Sellafield, the rest is made up of materials from other BNFL sites, nuclear power stations, hospitals, research sites and other industries. The majority of waste are compacted and containerised before transfer to Drigg.

Proposed Changes to the England Coast Path at Drigg, Cumbria Natural England’S Variation Report to the Secretary of State
www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath Proposed Changes to the England Coast Path at Drigg, Cumbria Natural England’s Variation Report to the Secretary of State Coastal Access Variation Report VR6 22nd August 2018 Purpose of this report Natural England has a statutory duty under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 to improve access to the English coast. The duty is in two parts: one relating to securing a long-distance walking route around the coast; the other to creating an associated “margin” of land for the public to enjoy, either in conjunction with their access along the route line, or otherwise. On 28th September 2015 the Secretary of State approved Natural England’s proposals relating to Whitehaven to Silecroft in Cumbria. The public rights of access to this stretch have yet to commence. Since the approval of the report, it has become clear that changes are necessary to the route of the England Coast Path. This report contains Natural England’s proposals relating to those changes, which are at the following locations shown on the overview map below: • Drigg, south of Seascale In order for these proposed changes to come into force they must be approved by the Secretary of State. It is recommended that Natural England’s approved report relating to this stretch is read in conjunction with this report. In particular the Overview provides context to many of the issues discussed within this variation report. Protection of sensitive nature conservation features: Natural England’s approach to ensuring the protection of sensitive nature conservation features under the Coastal Access Programme is set out in section 4.9 of Coastal Access: Natural England’s Approved Scheme 2013.

North West Geography
ISSN 1476-1580 North West Geography Volume 14, Number 1, 2014 North West Geography, Volume 14, 2014 12 Towards a robust deglacial chronology for the northwest England sector of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet Peter Wilson Environmental Sciences Research Institute, School of Environmental Sciences, University of Ulster, Coleraine, Co. Londonderry BT52 1SA. [email protected] Tom Lord Lower Winskill, Langcliffe, Settle, North Yorkshire BD24 9PZ. Abstract A number of absolute age determinations that provide a timeframe for the deglaciation of the last ice sheet in northwest England are reviewed. Some of the ages are probably too old and are therefore unreliable; some others have large associated uncertainties and are imprecise estimates for the loss of ice cover. Several ages are minimum ages for deglaciation because they record the timing of sedimentary events made possible by the removal of ice. The tightest age constraints on deglaciation are those derived from cosmogenic nuclide surface exposure dating but for some sites only a single age is available. Nevertheless together these age determinations indicate that between ~18 ka and ~17 ka northwest England began to emerge from its cover of glacial ice. Valley glaciers persisted in the Lake District until ~15 ka but had probably disappeared by 14.7 ka, or shortly after, when climate warmed abruptly. A more detailed picture of the style and rate of deglaciation is likely to come in the next few years as a result of the BRITICE-CHRONO project. Keywords Deglaciation, Last Glacial Maximum, British-Irish Ice Sheet, Dating techniques, Northwest England. Introduction Interest in the glacial geomorphology and sediment The idea that glaciers had previously existed in the British stratigraphy of northwest England extends back to the and Irish Isles was proposed by Swiss geologist Louis earliest days of glacial study.
