Introduction 1.1 Origins of the Coastal Community Team The North Copeland Coastal Community Team has been established through the existing locality Regeneration Partnerships based in the north of Copeland Borough in West Cumbria. This not only keeps together the existing Coastal Community Network, but also frames the Network within a much more pro-active setting that will offer support to the newly created Coastal Community Team (CCT), as well as ensuring that coastal issues are escalated through to the wider partnership growth agendas. The Regeneration Partnerships based in the localities are already focused on: developing their local economies; enhancing local education and skills; developing services and associated infrastructure; and see the CCT as a real opportunity to bring the assets of the coast into that agenda. The government defines coastal communities as settlements within an English local authority area whose boundaries include foreshore. These include seaside towns, ports and other communities which have a clear connection to the coastal economy. In July 2015 the government announced support to 104 CCTs, including the North Copeland CCT, bringing the total to 112 across England. This involves £10,000 of direct support to each team to develop their plans and a commitment to provide a further £90 million through the Coastal Community Fund from 2017 to support the implementation of those plans through to 2020-21. 1.2 Membership The North Copeland Coastal Community Team is chaired by Chris Shaw of Parton Parish Council.

The North Copeland Coast 2.1 Local area The North Copeland coastal communities are defined as the northern part of the borough of Copeland in West Cumbria, including the borough’s principal town and historic port of Whitehaven. Figure 1: Map of the North Copeland Coastal Communities Area 5 The North Copeland area is geographically remote, bound by the high fells of the Lake District National Park to the east and the Irish Sea and Solway Firth to the west. 2.2 Communities North Copeland is made up of several small and medium-sized settlements including Whitehaven, Parton, Lowca and St Bees along the coastline, and Distington, Egremont and Cleator Moor in close proximity to the coast. They are all individual communities The geography presents a daily challenge to the communities in North Copeland, with the average travel times to employment centres, secondary schools, GPs and town centres in Copeland Borough among the ten longest times out of all local authorities in England. The physical separation, often compounded by poor road networks and communications, can contribute to a lack of connectivity between the communities. The communities are full of reminders of their industrial heritage, including local traditions and cultural activities, but also a legacy that continues to present some serious challenges. Some buildings and land have become derelict and some local services and facilities have lacked the investment needed to adapt to the changing needs and demands of today’s businesses, residents and visitors. 2.3 Economy The local economy is full of contrasts with some of the lowest and highest per capita income neighbourhoods in Cumbria. It also shares with South Copeland the largest single employment site in the North West of England, at Sellafield. Not surprisingly economic activity tends to focus around the Sellafield site and its associated supply chain and the research & development. The North Copeland Coast, as part of West Cumbria, is branded as “Britain’s Energy Coast” and the area is now firmly established as an international Centre of Nuclear Excellence (CoNE). NuGen’s announcement that its project at Moorside aims to develop a new generation nuclear power station, of up to 3.6GW capacity, provides evidence that the prospects for further investment in the area remains very promising. The sector will continue to be hugely important to the local economy with the investment, skills and employment that it creates but this success can, and must, provide the springboard to develop a more diverse and sustainable economy in North Copeland and across the Borough as a whole. 6 Whilst the focus of attention for economic growth and employment will continue to revolve around the energy sector, the communities of North Copeland should be challenged with finding local solutions to their need to secure sustainable economic growth in the long-term. Their enterprise and creativity will be vital to ensure a more diverse economy can become a reality and go on to provide the range of opportunities that will encourage people to live and work in, as well as visit, the area. The visitor economy is considered by many to have the potential to provide a more significant counterweight to the area’s current dependence on the nuclear sector. By supporting local businesses and creating employment and training opportunities, the North Copeland coast can play an important role in the development of the visitor economy and in turn help to meet the challenge to diversify the local economy and help to offset the anticipated impact of nuclear decommissioning. Investment in the North Copeland Coast has the potential to generate increased economic activity, as well as improving local infrastructure and promoting civic pride in the area. An example of this is the Beacon project in Whitehaven which is living up to its name and has become an icon in the promotion of the town, as well as Copeland and West Cumbria. 2.4 Related Initiatives The creation of the North Copeland Coastal Communities Team (NCCCT) as part of a wider Coastal Community Network can ensure that coastal issues are escalated through to the wider economic growth agenda for West Cumbria. The coastal communities of North Copeland exist in a challenging environment where economic growth is being driven by huge corporations working closely with local and central government. Although these activities and economic plans may prove to be beneficial to the economy and general prosperity of the area, there is the risk that many communities will feel that economic growth is something that is done to them, not by them. The Coastal Community Team (CCT) provides a means for coastal communities to work together to develop their own local solutions to the key economic challenges facing North Copeland, but to do so in a way that connects those communities through improvements in infrastructure, communications and information. The CCT brings together local regeneration partnerships, each focusing on developing their local economies by: enhancing local education and skills; and developing services and associated infrastructure. The range of organisations currently involved in these local partnerships includes parish representatives, community representatives from the local authorities, local businesses, charities, social enterprises, youth groups and environmental groups. 7 The CCT is well placed to contribute as it can build on these existing partnerships that have a track record of developing and delivering capital projects that enhance the coast. Its contribution can be two-fold: creating the conditions for economic growth; and, where possible, delivering economic growth. For example, the CCT can potentially bring forward infrastructure projects that create the conditions for growth by encouraging more people to choose to live and work in the area, as well as encouraging more people to visit the area. In addition, the CCT can deliver economic growth more directly by building on existing economic growth plans and working as part of a strategic partnership to utilise the coastal assets to create jobs, new enterprise and business expansion. The relationship with the emerging Economic Growth Strategy for Copeland will be particularly important. The CCT can contribute to the delivery of several strategic objectives, but in particular it can seek to add value by: Developing and enhancing communications and transport where these contribute to improvements in connectivity across the coastal communities.

  • 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.

Furthermore, beyond Census data, there is little statistical information available for Electoral Divisions. However, most statistical agencies produce data for Electoral Wards. Therefore, there is a very wide range of statistical information available for Electoral Wards. Furthermore, as Electoral Wards are generally smaller than Electoral Divisions, statistics at this level provide more insight into variations between communities.

This Plan is very important for us, as it builds upon our ambitious Vision of making Allerdale “a great place to live, work and visit”, and takes it one step further to identify how, over the next five years we will work towards making it happen. In developing this plan, we have looked at what is important to our communities, rather than what legal duties as a Council we have to undertake. The way we have done this is by engaging with and listening to a wide range of views and opinions to ensure that our key priorities and focus are in line with local aspirations. We would like to thank all of the individuals and organisations who have supported us to this point and we look forward to continuing to nurture these relationships as we move forward into delivery, as we are very aware that in order for us to achieve our ambitions we will need to work with, and through, a range of partners.
