Copeland Local Committee
As I posted last week, the January meeting of Cumbria County Council's local committee for Copeland will be held at 10.15 am at Cleator Moor Civic Hall on 21st January 2020.
The meeting will be open to the public. The agenda and most of the supporting papers have now gone up on the council website here. (There are two more to follow.)
I have been to a few council meetings in the last few months where the agenda was a bit light, in some cases so much so that one did wonder whether it would have been better to save public money by cancelling them, but this one is not light in any way shape or form.
The agenda includes the following:
6. Universal Credit
To receive presentations from representatives from the Department of Work and Pensions and the Citizen’s Advice Bureau on the functioning of the Universal Credit system and it's impact on local people.
7. Third Sector Waste
To receive a presentation from the Executive Director – Economy and Infrastructure
8. Road Safety Update
To consider a report by the Executive Director – Economy and Infrastructure. The purpose of this report is to raise awareness of the road safety management arrangements and activities that the Cumbria Road Safety Partnership currently has in place.
10. Countryside and Access Team Annual Report.
11. 2019/20 Local Committee Devolved Highways Budget
To consider a report by the Executive Director – Economy and Infrastructure. This report presents the Highways Devolved Budget Finance figures including an update on the Highways Revenue and Capital Programme.
12. Draft Highways Capital and Revenue Budgets 2020/2021
To consider a report by the Executive Director – Economy and Infrastructure (to follow).
13. Copeland Highways Working Group

15. Area Planning Report

This report provides Copeland Local Committee with an update on work and activity undertaken to promote and progress local area planning since its last meeting. It is also to advise Members of the council on the current budget position.
