Appendix 1 ALLITHWAITE UPPER PARISH COUNCIL (LINDALE & NEWTON-IN-CARTMEL) Brackendale 77 Kirkhead Road Kents Bank Grange Over Sands Cumbria LA11 7DD Tel. 015395 33091 1st February 2018 Ms D Storr Director Policy and Resources (Monitoring Officer) South Lakeland District Council South Lakeland House Lowther Street Kendal Cumbria LA9 4UF Dear Ms Storr Request to change name of Parish Further to our recent correspondence I am writing to formally request approval of Allithwaite Upper Parish Council’s intention to change the name of the Parish to Lindale and Newton in Cartmel. I understand we are able to do this as per Section 75 Local Government Act 1972, Section 4 Page 32, Other Aspects of Community Governance Reviews. We would request that the parish wards remain unchanged as Lindale and Newton wards. This is a result of frequent confusion with Lower Allithwaite Parish and the fact that Upper Allithwaite does not represent the geographical location or identity of our parish. As a Parish Council we have been considering for some time the option of changing the parish name. In 2017 when we carried out a community consultation to review our Community Plan 0f 2008 we included a question regarding this matter. The results are as follows:- 78% of respondents felt it was important that the name of the parish represented it’s geographical location 16% felt it was unimportant. The parish council has resolved unanimously at our meeting on 30th November 201 to change the name of the parish to Lindale and Newton-in-Cartmel and the Parish Council will be known as Lindale and Newton in Cartmel Parish Council. (A copy of the 1184 minute recording this is attached to this letter) Web Site: www.allithwaiteupperpc.net e-mail: [email protected] We have consulted with both SLDC and CCC Councillors for our wards. They also support our resolution. I have also contacted parishes close by that have a link to Allithwaite and Cartmel, i.e. Lower Allithwaite PC and Cartmel Fell PC to see what their views are with regard to the planned name change. I have received an acknowledgement from Cartmel Fell but had no formal response or objections from either. In addition we have publicised our intention to proceed with the name change, we have put an article on the news section of the Parish Council website, an article in the parish newsletter and an article will appear in the local free paper the Grange Now in next month’s edition. At the time of writing this letter I have had no comments from any local residents.
