We formed the Aspatria Rural Partnership and decided to prepare this Community Action Plan. It aims to provide a strategic approach and to co-ordinate our actions through the delivery of an evidence-based action plan. This is intentionally a succinct document, which belies the amount of work that went into its preparation. That work is captured in a background issues paper, which sets out the research and consultation that helped us define our objectives and actions. We now want to implement our plan and we welcome your input. If we have missed something that is important to you, then let us know. If you have any suggestions on the actions or if there is anything you can do to help implement them, please do get in touch.

  • A595 Improvement Transport Scheme Development
    A595 Improvement Transport Scheme Development Non-Technical Summary i A595 Improvement – Transport Scheme Development 1/ Introduction 1. Introduction 1.1 Background 1.1.1 Cumbria County Council is undertaking study work to develop a highway improvement scheme for the A595 between Redmain and Mealsgate. The council has appointed engineering consultants Capita to assist with and support the technical work. 1.1.2 This report is a non-technical summary of the scheme development and options appraisal undertaken to date. It presents an outline of the scheme context and underlying evidence base, the scheme’s objectives, and a description and the rationale for the scheme undergoing consultation. 1.2 Previous Studies 1.2.1 The West of M6 Strategic Connectivity Study identified a number of constraints on Cumbria's key highway corridors, including the A595, related to capacity, safety and resilience. Interventions have been developed to remove these constraints and support plans for economic growth in the County. The A595 around Bothel was one of the sections identified that required improvement. 1.2.2 Following this study, a strategic outline business case was developed for the A595/A66 corridor. The business case brought together all the scheme interventions identified on the corridors in the West of M6 Study and prioritised them. The A595 between Redmain and Mealsgate was identified as a prioritised scheme in the business case, and economic appraisal demonstrated the programme as a whole could achieve value for money. 1.3 Existing Situation 1.3.1 The A595 is an essential strategic route for Cumbria, providing access to and from West Cumbria and sites including the Port of Workington, Moorside, Sellafield and Barrow-in- Furness, to the A689 and the M6 and A69 beyond.

  • Aspatria IRMP 15
    Aspatria Individual Station Risk Review / Profile This document assesses the specific performance and risk within the fire station area. It provides more defined risk profiling down to Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) level. The risk profiling process by its very nature provides evidence of the fire risk within each geographical LSOA using detailed known risk and demographic information. The risk formula used to inform our fire risk profile was devised following the Intervention Standards Review, full details are available on our website: www.cumbria.gov.uk/fire The review also identifies other significant risks in the area that need consideration so that our resources are appropriately allocated across the county. As well as looking at county wide issues and trends in the main Integrated Risk Management Plan (IRMP), this individual station risk profile considers: • Current resources • Appliance availability • Operational response activity • Fire risk profile • Next nearest supporting appliances • Location specific risks including: heritage risk, environment risk, site specific risks: flooding risks, rurality and resilience risk. Resources The station is located in the town centre on the main road through the town and is staffed by 11 On Call firefighters. On-call Fire Engine Availability 2014 During 2014 the fire engine in Aspatria has been off the run for 552.25 hours or 6.30% of the time.

  • Cumbria & the Lake District
    © Lonely Planet Publications 608 Cumbria & the Lake District Ever since William Wordsworth and his Romantic chums ventured into the hills in search of poetic inspiration in the late 18th century, this part of England has been a byword for natural grandeur, although in many ways the Cumbrian landscape, with its glacier-etched valleys, ridges and peaks, is closer to the rugged panoramas of the Scottish Highlands than the green and pleasant vistas of England. The region’s distinctive jade-green hills (locally known as ‘fells’) have been a favoured haunt for generations of peak-baggers, trail trekkers and view junkies. Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of Cumbria’s 14 million annual visitors make a beeline for the landmark sights of the Lake District. Cruise boats putter across the silvery waterways of Windermere, Derwent Water and Coniston Water, while whitewashed inns and hugger-mugger pubs huddle beneath the lofty summits of England’s three highest mountains, Scaféll, Scaféll Pike and Helvellyn. Literary connections are another major Lakeland draw: Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Arthur Ransome and Beatrix Potter are all inextricably linked with this corner of England, and the Victorian critic John Ruskin created one of northern England’s loveliest country estates at Brantwood, overlooking Coniston Water. But if you want to escape the inevitable crowds, it’s worth taking the time to discover some of the region’s lesser-known sights. Relatively few visitors investigate Cumbria’s historic capitals, Penrith and Carlisle, while even fewer make the trek to explore Cumbria’s bleakly beautiful coastline, where you’ll find the spiritual home of sticky toffee pudding, the rosy-red ruins of Furness Abbey and the historic steam railway known as La’al Ratty.
