A595 Moresby embankment work - new public meetings now rescheduled

As I reported here a few weeks ago, National Highways has profusely apologised for the fact that letters advertising to local residents the details of public engagement meetings to inform people about proposed improvement work on the Moresby Embankment section of the A595 (just North of Whitehaven) went out far too late. Most of the letters arrived after all but one of the events had already happened.

National Highways responded quickly to requests to reschedule these events so that members of the public could attend and promised that they would do so.

New letters have now gone out with details of the rescheduled meetings, which are also given on the National Highways website.

The new public engagement events will take place as follows:

  • Monday 7 November – The Beacon Museum, West Strand, Whitehaven CA28 7LY
  • Wednesday 9 November – Cleator Moor Civic Hall & Masonic Centre, Jacktrees Road, Cleator Moor CA25 5AU
  • Thursday 10 November – Gosforth Public Hall, Gosforth, Seascale CA20 1A
  • Friday 11 November – Workington Town Council Community Centre, Princess St, Workington CA14 2QG

On each of the above dates there will be three drop-in sessions throughout the day: from 11am to 12pm, 2pm to 3pm and 6pm to 7pm.

National Highways have promised that as the project progresses there will be further opportunities to speak with the project team.

Details of these events, along with an overview of the scheme and details of the proposed phasis of the scheme, benefits and Archaeology, can be found on the National Highways Website by clicking on the link below.

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.
