The future of community travel in Embleton, Wythop and Setmurthy tops the agenda of the next Cockermouth & District Neighbourhood Forum on Tuesday 22 May, at 7:00pm.
The meeting in Embleton Village Hall will give local people the chance to help develop a Community Travel Plan for the area
Community travel plans look at local travel needs for people living and working in communities for now and in the future. Residents and local community groups can have their say about local travel and transport issues and work towards reducing the impact of travel on their quality of life. The plans look at all aspects of travel, including walking, cycling, public transport and the safe use of cars.
There will also be a talk by Helen Aitken from Voluntary Action Cumbria on community and parish plans.
At the forum residents and groups will be able to raise issues and concerns and outline what they believe local needs to be. These will then be put together on a map of the area, which will be used to drive forward the Embleton, Wythop and Setmurthy Community Travel Plan using funds that have been earmarked for local use.
Free refreshments will be available and Everyone is welcome. Please call Neighbourhood Development Officer Amanda Postlethwaite on 01900-325008 if you require additional information.
