Organisations across Westmorland and Furness are developing a new Joint Local Health and Wellbeing Strategy. This will describe how we will work together to improve health and wellbeing for our residents and communities.
We would like to hear about the things that impact on your health and wellbeing and the things that you need to help you stay healthy and well.
We have developed a short survey to gather this information and will present the findings to the Health and Wellbeing Board and other key partners to inform the strategy.
The survey will close on Tuesday 28 November 2023.
We are consulting on the future of the North Walney Primary and Nursery School and encouraging everybody that has an interest in the school to share their views regarding a potential closure from the 31 August 2024.
There is concern about a decline in the number of pupils across all year groups over recent years and the resulting impact on the school’s financial position. Currently there are just 27 pupils, with the school able to accommodate up to 161 children. As a result, achieving a balanced budget is becoming increasingly difficult.
In line with national trends, the number of births in the North Walney catchment area has also reduced in recent years, as it has across Walney Island. Because of this and a surplus of school places across the surrounding area, the chances of significant growth in pupil numbers for the School are low.
Please let us know your thoughts before the consultation process closes on 12 December 2023.
At our five Highways depots, we’ve stock piled over 12,000 tonnes of grit, ready to treat the network when road temperatures drop below 0 degrees.
Our gritting team was out in the early hours treating roads in Alston and parts of Penrith, ready for your morning commute.
This lovely photo was taken yesterday at our Skirsgill Depot in Penrith.
If you look closely, you will see the size of our biggest salt barn in Westmorland and Furness compared to one of our gritters the team are filling in preparation.
Join us! There are currently 66 job opportunities available to apply for now.
