  • Full Proposal for Establishing a New Unitary Authority for Barrow, Lancaster and South Lakeland
    Full proposal for establishing a new unitary authority for Barrow, Lancaster and South Lakeland December 2020 The Bay Council and North Cumbria Council Proposal by Barrow Borough Council, Lancaster City Council and South Lakeland District Council Foreword Dear Secretary of State, Our proposals for unitary local government in the Bay would build on existing momentum and the excellent working relationships already in place across the three district Councils in the Bay area. Together, we can help you deliver a sustainable and resilient local government solution in this area that delivers priority services and empowers communities. In line with your invitation, and statutory guidance, we are submitting a Type C proposal for the Bay area which comprises the geographies of Barrow, Lancaster Cllr Ann Thomson Sam Plum and South Lakeland councils and the respective areas of the county councils of Leader of the Council Chief Executive Cumbria and Lancashire. This is a credible geography, home to nearly 320,000 Barrow Borough Council Barrow Borough Council people, most of whom live and work in the area we represent. Having taken into account the impact of our proposal on other local boundaries and geographies, we believe creating The Bay Council makes a unitary local settlement for the remainder of Cumbria more viable and supports consideration of future options in Lancashire. Partners, particularly the health service would welcome alignment with their footprint and even stronger partnership working. Initial discussions with the Police and Crime Commissioners, Chief Officers and lead member for Fire and Cllr Dr Erica Lewis Kieran Keane Rescue did not identify any insurmountable barriers, whilst recognising the need Leader of the Council Chief Executive for further consultation.

  • Biodiversity in Community Strategies
    Biodiversity in Community Strategies Guidance Notes for the Community Planning Process in South Lakeland including suggested actions for each LSP task group to take on board to enhance biodiversity in South Lakeland Produced By the Cumbria Biodiversity Partnership July 2004 2 Guidance note for the South Lakeland Local Strategic Partnership for the incorporation of Biodiversity issues into its Community Strategy Biodiversity for pleasure, health, economic growth and education South Lakeland is extremely rich in natural wonders, from the huge expanse of Morecambe Bay teeming with birds, to the amazing natural phenomenon of limestone pavement at Hutton Roof with its woodland plants hidden away in the crevices in the rock. The nature conservation importance of many of these areas has been recognised by their designation as County Wildlife Sites, Local Nature Reserves, Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and some even have the European designation of candidate Special Area of Conservation (cSAC). Many of these special areas are readily accessible and provide a chance to experience nature first-hand. So, in addition to being havens for wildlife, they provide people with the chance to stop for a moment and appreciate the natural world around them. The sense of well-being that arises from this experience is hard to beat. Access to natural greenspace and wildlife is now recognised for its benefits for people with mental illness or stress. Even being able to see trees and other aspects of nature can increase people’s recovery times from physical illnesses, and over 300 studies suggest that time spent in green spaces such as Local Nature Reserves is good for physical, mental and social well-being.

    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.

Cumbria Housing Statement Vision Housing is the fabric of our society and the Cumbria Housing Group recognises that housing is central to improving people’s quality of life while simultaneously meeting our aspirations for economic growth. The manner in which our housing is designed, delivered and managed (including providing access to housing) has a significant impact on our health; wellbeing; the local economy; and therefore the extent to which communities can successfully thrive across Cumbria. The Cumbria Housing Group is made up of the County’s six District Housing Authorities (Allerdale; Barrow; Carlisle; Copeland; Eden; and South Lakeland), Cumbria County Council, and the Lake District National Park Authority. The Cumbria Housing Statement is the overarching strategic document for housing in Cumbria and has been produced by the Cumbria Housing Group. It aims to give a clear focus to housing priorities in Cumbria and to support investment and other funding opportunities that will add value and make a real difference.
