Travel and transport needs in Oulton, Woodside and Waverton top the agenda of the next Wigton and District Neighbourhood Forum on Monday 4 June, at 7:00pm.
The meeting in Oulton 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.
At the forum residents and groups can 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 Oulton, Woodside and Waverton Community Travel Plan using funds that have been earmarked for local use.
The meeting will also be a chance for people to learn more about the new North Allerdale Community Board - an integral part of the county council's proposal for a single, unitary council in Cumbria. North Allerdale is one of five pilot areas set up by the county council to look at how more decision making can be devolved to a local level.
Free Fairtrade refreshments will be available and everyone is welcome. Please call Neighbourhood Development Officer Pat Ackred on 01900-325013 if you require further information.
