The B4RN Warcop & Ormside working group have arranged a Public Meeting on Thursday 23rd March at 7:30pm at Warcop Parish Hall. A representative of B4RN will update residents on the progress of our project, answer any questions you may have and you can sign up if you so wish. Nearly 30% of residents of Warcop and Ormside have now signed up and we hope that even more will do so.

Your local Parish, District and County Councillors have been invited to attend, as well as the two councillors on the new Westmorland & Furness unitary authority. This will be an opportunity to get to know your councillors and to raise any issues or ideas with them.

Here is a poster about the event:

A66 Changes Consultation

Just a reminder that the consultation period on NH’s proposed changes to the DCO has started and ends on the 27th February. There is a consultation meeting at Warcop Parish Hall on Wednesday 1st February, 3 – 7pm. I hope that you will attend if possible and then respond either online or via paper copies. 

From what I can see, most of the changes seem sensible and straightforward, and the most significant perhaps is the re-design of the Langrigg junction, as well as a reduction of the Warcop junction near the army playing field.. However, no sign here of the section from Café 66 to Dyke Nook Cottage being put behind the line of trees, or the maintaining of the existing Brough Hill Fair site. It will be interesting to examine the drawings of the new Warcop junction in greater detail than the brochure gives.

Here are a couple of useful links and the dates of all the public meetings:

Warcop Playpark Now Open!

The new play area in Warcop has now opened and it has proved very popular with local children and visitors alike. It has been funded by a series of grants, fund-raising events and contributions from Warcop Parish Council. The whole project has been led by Councillor Katie Hindson who deserves our thanks for her determination and hard work.
