We aim to keep the parish a pleasurable and secure environment in which to live and work. To help achieve this we hold regular Parish Council meetings, at which we discuss all matters openly.

Local government reorganisation in Cumbria
The Secretary of State has announced the proposal for Local Government Reorganisation in Cumbria.
Subject to Parliamentary approval, he is proposing two unitary councils – an East unitary council covering the existing areas of Barrow, Eden and South Lakeland and a West unitary council covering the existing areas of Allerdale, Carlisle and Copeland.
This means that Cumbria County Council and the six district/borough/city councils will be abolished and two new authorities created. Parish and town councils will not change but there will be impacts on local councils. If approved, the new authorities would go live on 1 April 2023.
