Travel tops the agenda of the next Solway Coast Neighbourhood Forum which takes place on Monday 11 June, at 7:00pm.
Allonby Village Hall is the venue for the meeting which will be used to finalise a new community travel plan for Silloth and begin the process of developing a similar plan for Allonby and Mawbray.
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.
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.
