September 2022 meeting of Cumbria County Coucil

Cumbria County Council will meet tomorrow (Wednesday 7th September) at 10am in the Council Chamber at County Hall, Kendal. The meeting will be open to the public, or at least to those who will not be at work but can afford to travel to County Hall and back.

Anyone who is travelling to the meeting should allow extra time as the meeting clashes with the Westmorland County Show in Kendal on 7th and 8th September. The council normally has its' meetings  on Thursdays, this one was brought forward to Wednesday to avoid a clash with the show but the people who did that had not appreciated that the show is now a two-day event. 

In the ordinary course of events I would be asking if next time we could just have the council meeting and the show in different weeks but as the county council will no longer exist at the time of the next Westmorland County Show that will be an issue for the successor authority.

The main items on the agenda are the Youth Justice Plan for 2022/23, and to roll forward the Council's  Integrated Risk Management Plan (IRMP) for the Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service for an additional twelve months to fill in the gap before the service moves to being the responsibility of Cumbria's Police and Crime Commissioner, Peter McCall, who will become the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner.

Nick Herbert on his visit to flood hit areas of Cumbria

Please note that the post below was published more than ten year ago on 21st November 2009 Nick Herbert MP, shadow cabinet member for the Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, was in Cumbria this morning to see the areas affected by the flooding. He writes on Conservative Home about his visit. Here is an extract. I’ve been in Cumbria today to see the areas affected by the floods. I arrived early in Keswick where I met officials from the Environment Agency. Although the river levels had fallen considerably and homes were no longer flooded, the damage to homes had been done. And the water which had got into houses wasn’t just from the river – it was foul water which had risen from the drains. I talked to fire crews who were pumping flood water back into the river, and discovered that they were from Tyne & Wear and Lancashire. They had been called in at an hours’ notice and had been working on the scene ever since, staying at a local hotel. You cannot fail to be impressed by the

Quotes of the day 19th August 2020

"Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise."  ( Cato the Elder , who lived 234 BC - 149 BC, quoted in "Lives" by Plutarch.) There is a similar saying by Germany's Iron Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck: Benjamin Franklin is supposed to have put the same saying in a more humorous form: "Wise men profit by the mistakes of others, while fools will not learn even from their own blunders." See also this thread on the "Quote Investigator" website . Let us all be wise and learn from the events of the last few days.

Quote of the day 24th July 2020

I was moved to put the passage below forward as a quote today when I saw a horrible post on twitter from someone writing that it was "excellent" that someone who took a different view from her about Brexit had died. I won't write which way round it was so that all the Remain supporters can assume the post was from a Brexit fanatic welcoming the death of a remainer and all the Leavers can assume it was a Remainiac welcoming one less Brexiteer. There's been plenty of nasty stuff on both sides but if you catch anyone of your own viewpoint  posting something like that who might listen to you, please do call them out on it - and point out that they're giving everyone on your side of the argument a bad name. Anyway, here's the quote from John Donne.
