Great North Air Ambulance – Summer Bag Collection

The summer GNAA bag collection will be on Saturday 8th July at Warcop Parish Hall between 10:00 and 11:30am, during the monthly Coffee Morning. The Air Ambulance van will arrive at 11:15am.

Spare GNAA bags and posters will be in all the village newspaper boxes as well as posters in noticeboards and in The Way etc. A copy can be found via the link below. Please leave filled bags outside the hall and come and enjoy a cuppa and a chat.

All proceeds go the the GNAA charity so bring as many old clothes, bedding, printer cartridges, old mobile phones and so on as possible as what we raise is determined by the weight of the collected bags!

Warcop Bus Shelter Cleaned Up!

Many thanks to Mr and Mrs Clee and other helpers who cleared out, painted the windows and interior of our bus shelter, cleaned up the squirrel bench, as well as mending the broken panes of glass and the dodgy leg of the newspaper box! There’s also a book swap available now. It looks really clean and tidy and is a bus shelter fit for the increased number of buses that come to Warcop on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Friday and Saturdays.

Well done on a really good community effort.

New LED Streetlight

The Parish Council has paid for and arranged the installation of a new LED streetlight on Beckside. This is because EDC refuses to replace the old sodium lights. There are plans to replace two more in Warcop when finances allow, namely on Gregson Terrace and in the Square/Triangle right in the middle of Warcop. Any others that fail in Sandford will also be replaced in due course.

New Saturday 563 Bus Service

New Saturday 563 Bus Service

I am happy to announce the start of the new Saturday 563 bus service from 1 April. The attached A5 flyer is being printed and will be distributed in villages along the route as soon as possible.

Warcop Parish Council is contributing financially to help support this much-needed initiative. The bus will call at Warcop four times on the way out and three times on the way back. Passengers will be able to travel to Kirkby Stephen as well as Appleby or Penrith.

Please support this trial service if you can and it can then become a sustainable service

Here is a copy of the flyer and timetable:
