Community Activity

County Councillors and officers work in partnership with a number of agencies and residents groups including Police, Highways, Barrow Borough Council.

This Forum assisted residents regarding the issue of traffic speeding on Fairfield Lane and in consultation with residents implemented speed bumps to reduce traffic speed.
