The plan of the orchard has now been received and a quote for pruning the trees has been received and accepted by Council. There is a dormant bank account and our Clerk will ask that it be transferred to the Council's account, as we are now meeting maintenance costs. A sign will also be commissioned. Cllr. Simpkins reported that EDC has secured £0.5m for energy conservation improvements across the District and Brough has been identified as an area that could benefit from measures such as improvements to loft insulation, double glazing, heat pumps etc. There is a deadline of March 2021. It will be promoted through The Way Magazine. Cllr Dew supplied information regarding the impact of Covid-19 in our area and he is also pushing for the re-opening of KS library. Snowmen. This event will take place on Saturday December 7th. Council had received a request for financial support from the youth group.

Councillor Hauser gave an update of the proposed Warcop play area improvements. Currently there are 3 plans and quotes in which vary in equipment and design layout. Councillor Hauser will put together a questionnaire for parents and residents asking for their opinions as to what they would like to have in the play area. Fund-raising events will also be organised as well as putting in bids for grants. The chairman gave an update regarding the proposed dualling of the A66. The PC would prefer a northern route between Brough and Appleby bypass, which would go through ANOB and MOD land, and Natural England have been an opponent against this route and are pushing for the southern route, promoted by Highways England, which is not the better option. A resident has written to Highways England along with the PC to make a case to push the northern route forward. The PC are not against the proposed dualling of the A66: they just want the best, environmentally cleanest and safest route for the parish. Dog fouling seems to be a problem again in the village of Warcop. The clerk will order some more signs to go up. The chairman is asking for all residents to sign up to the parish information sign up form which is available on the website: www.warcop.org.uk. Sign up for Local News and Infomation Warcop Parish Council and Warcop Parish Hall would like to be able to provide you with more information about what is going on in our parish. There are some 220 households with nearly 600 residents living in the parish at Bleatarn, Sandford, Warcop and part of Coupland Beck. We would like to tell you about the work of the Parish Council, its meetings and current issues and priorities. We would also like to tell you about upcoming developments, events, activities or classes at the Parish Hall. Finally, we would like to seek your views on important issues from time to time through surveys. We have set up a sign-up page through Mailchimp to receive emails or text messages containing this information on your local website: www.warcop.org.uk. The sign-up form is on every page at the bottom left-hand side, and you can opt out at any time. Your information will be kept safe and not shared with others and conforms to GDPR regulations. Our aim is to get the majority of households who have email signed up so that we can contact as many local residents as possible. We promise not to bombard you with emails, and you can delete them if they are of no interest to you. We hope you will take the opportunity to sign up so that you feel better informed.
