The plan addresses the socio economic needs of the region, in particular • Poor connectivity and rural isolation • Lack of tourism infrastructure • Over dependence on the nuclear sector for employment • The need for work & skills development and diversification • Health challenges presented by obesity and mental health problems The plan addresses these needs by articulating the opportunities to • Create tourism infrastructure attractions and amenities which support the visitor economy. In particular the development of a Sustrans National Cycle Network route along the coast connecting the coastal communities between Seascale and Millom and growing cycling tourism. • Diversify employment and skills through developing the visitor economy, focusing on the growth and development of cycling tourism and greater use of the rail network. • Develop businesses, work and skills training courses and options along the coast linked to cycling tourism and the visitor economy in line with Copeland Work and Skills Partnership. • Encourage healthy active lifestyles through development of cycling and rights of way access routes which are available to each coastal community as well as the tourist visitor. These routes will include links into Western Lake District valleys of Wasdale, Eskdale and The Duddon. The main outputs resulting from the delivery of the plan One full time project officer role to develop and deliver the activities outlined in the plan. 70 miles of new fully mapped and signed cycling and rights of way access infrastructure throughout the region between Seascale and Millom and linking the coastal routes into the Western Lake District and providing significant opportunity for growth of cycling tourism An annual cycling sportive making use of the new cycling infrastructure. One new start business delivering coastal sports and cycling activities. The Desired Outcomes resulting from the delivery of the outputs: • To increase from 8% t0 10% (ie +2%) the number of visitors into the Western Lake District as a proportion of total visitors to the Lake District than at present. This would mean an approximate 328,000 more visitors to the region annually which with an average daily spend of £21.00 per person which equates to over £6.5m additional spend per year. • The creation and support of new full time jobs along the coast in the tourist industry • The development of new attractions and events which support the visitor economy. • Growth in the level of active lifestyles across the community through cycling and walking. P a g e | 4 1. Introduction The South Copeland Coastal Communities Team (SCCCT) is in part a continuation of the Copeland Coastal Partnership and the Coastal Community Network which have for the past five years worked to stimulate coastal growth, through projects and activities which are enhancing and celebrating the coast. It also closely reflects the successful “locality working”, launched by Copeland Borough Council in 2011 under the umbrella of The Copeland Partnership which has seen community and economic regeneration projects developed and delivered by local partnerships working collaboratively across the public, private and third sectors. SCCCT consists of a range of people and business interests from the coastal communities within the south and mid Copeland area who have an understanding of the issues facing their specific communities and the area as a whole. Its purpose is to develop an effective forward strategy for the South Copeland coastal area and to seek input from, as well as support from the local community and a range of local stakeholders. The Accountable Body in terms of funding for this team is COPELAND BOROUGH COUNCIL Sarah Mitchell The Copeland Centre Irish Street Whitehaven Cumbria CA28 7SJ The Community Regeneration Officer employed through Copeland Borough Council is facilitating the team and the development of this economic plan and his contact details are: Eric Barker: Community Regeneration Officer (Mid & South Copeland) Copeland Borough Council C/O Black Combe Office Millom Network centre Salthouse Road Millom LA18 5AB 01229 719657 P a g e | 5 Membership of the Team South & Mid Copeland Coastal Communities Team Membership Keith Hitchen: Cumbria County Councillor, Copeland Borough Councillor, Chair of the South Copeland Parish Partnership, Parish Councillor for Drigg and Carleton and Parish Clerk for Wabberthwaite.

The Plan SCCCT Mission: To support the development and delivery of projects that stimulate and underpin economic growth and sustainability in the South Copeland Coastal Communities. SCCCT Vision: The SCCCT have a vision to create the conditions for a vibrant coastal economy through the development of new and improved cycling and access infrastructure between Seascale and Millom. These new and improved cycling/walking routes will enable the significant development of cycling tourism as well as providing better connectivity between isolated communities and the promotion of healthy active lifestyles. We envisage that the development of the visitor economy as a result of increased cycling tourism and associated activity will encourage business growth in the hospitality sector and prompt the further development of amenities and attractions which support and diversify the visitor economy, expand work and skills opportunities and make the coastal communities more sustainable places to live, work and visit.

About Our Parish Millom Without Parish Council is situated in the Copeland constituency of South West Cumbria. The Parish footprint is both in the Lake District National Park or within what is regarded as the setting of the Lake District National Park. This picturesque area is predominately pastoral farmland, open fell and marshland. Within its boundary are the villages of The Green, The Hill, Lady Hall and Thwaites.

On its borders are the villages of Silecroft, Kirksanton, Haverigg, Broughton in Furness, Foxfield, Kirkby in Furness, Ireleth, Askam and the town of Millom. On the horizon are the Lake District Fells which include Coniston, Langdale and Scafell Ranges and is the gateway to Ulpha, Duddon and Lickle Valleys. Wordsworth wrote extensively of the Duddon, a river he knew and loved from his early years. The Parish has approximately 900 Residents. The main industry in this and surrounding areas is tourism and its relevant services. Farming is also predominant and in Millom there are a number of small industrial units. The Parish is also home to Ghyll Scaur Quarry. 2. Our Heritage Millom Without is rich in sites of both historic and environmental interest.

  • 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.
