20/9/2007 - Keswick and District Neighbourhood Forum

Travel tops the agenda of the next Keswick and District Neighbourhood Forum which takes place on Monday 1 October, at 7:00pm.

The town's Southey Street Methodist Rooms are the venue for the meeting which will be used to finalise a new community travel plan for Keswick.

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 question Cumbria County Council's Caroline Watson about any passenger transport issues in the Keswick area.

Cumbria Fire & Rescue Service's Adrian Holme will be on hand to talk about an on-going public consultation on new measures which firefighters hope will help preserve life and landscape in the county.

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.
