Notes from today's marathon meeting of Copeland Local Committee

More to follow later this week, but today's meeting of Cumbria County Council's local committee for Copeland included the following

1) We had an extremely informative presentation on Universal Credit and what is being done to improve it and help people for whom it has not worked from the Department of Work and Pensions and

2) We approved next year's capital budget and a number of grants

3) We heard important presentations on Road safety and the county council's service caring for vulnerable children in Copeland and Allerdale

4) We also discussed the need for a better bridge over the River Duddon at Duddon Bridge, one of the least satisfactory points on the A595 (a road with many places which need improving)

5) Do Cumbria Libraries stock John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress?"

Yes, the library does stock that book, there are at least nine copies which should be available.

Watch this space ...
