A series of important meetings for locals to attend

This is an opportunity to suggest improvements to walking, cycling, public transport and safe use of the car in Ulverston’s town centre to the County Councillors, Pauline Halfpenny and Wendy Kolbe. County Council officers will be at the meeting, including Nick Raymond, the Area Engineer. There is no specific funding attached to this consultation to do any work. However, the Plan will be useful as and when County Council funding does becomes available – the Council will be clear about local people’s priorities.

It would be important to attend all three meetings if at all possible.

1. Thursday 6th November, 7pm, at Glaxo Sports and Social Club, Cavendish Street
This meeting will explain the process and invite people to list things which
could be improved under the four headings (above)
2. Tuesday 18th November, 7pm, Methodist Church Rooms
This meeting will ask people to score the items raised at the first meeting in
terms of importance
3. Thursday 4th December, 7pm, Coronation Hall Supper Room
A meeting to discuss the scores given at the previous meeting in relation to
how the County Council would score those same items. The aim is to agree a
final priority listing which will form the Community Travel Plan for Ulverston town centre.

This consultation is your chance to tell the County what improvements you would like to see in relation to walking, cycling, public transport and safe use of the car.It could include speed limits, car parking, road surface repair, Zebra crossings and the regulations for traffic and parking in our shopping streets.
