22/5/2007 - Joint Neighbourhood Forum to tackle travel needs in Allerdale

Travel tops the agenda of a special joint meeting of the Derwent Valley and Workington Central Neighbourhood Forums on Tuesday 5 June, at 7:00pm.

The meeting at Great Clifton Village Hall will give local people the chance to help develop a Community Travel Plan for Clifton, Little Clifton, Winscales and Stainburn.

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 Clifton, Little Clifton, Winscales and Stainburn 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.
