A special meeting of the Solway Coast Neighbourhood Forum is being held in Silloth Primary School on Monday 29 January, at 7:00pm.
The meeting, which has been organised by Cumbria County Council, will give local people the chance to help develop a Community Travel Plan for the area.
Community travel plans look at local travel needs for people living and working in communities for now and in the future. Residents and local community groups can have their say about local travel and transport issues and work towards reducing the impact of travel on their quality of life.
The plans look at all aspects of travel, including walking, cycling, public transport and the safe use of cars.
At the forum residents and groups will be able to raise issues and concerns and outline what they believe local needs to be. These will then be put together on a map of the area, which will be used to drive forward the Silloth Community Travel Plan using funds that have been earmarked for local use.
Also at the meeting, people will be given the opportunity to have their say on plans for a single unitary council for Cumbria which would save tens of millions of pounds and provide all council services across the county.
Free Fairtrade refreshments will be available and everyone is welcome. Please call Neighbourhood Development Officer Pat Ackred on 01900- 325013 if you require additional information.
