New investments in your area
The Lakes to Sea Community Panel has once again invested in some fantastic community projects.
At its recent meeting, the panel funded schemes ranging from security lighting to equipment for a new sporting event.
The panel, made up of ward councillors, awards investment to community organisations. At its most recent meeting, the following investments were approved:
* Crosscanonby Community Centre received £400 to replace exterior security lighting.
* 1st Cockermouth Scouts Group were awarded £2,800 towards climbing equipment and tents.
* Broughton Parish Council received £5,000 towards upgrading and replacing children’s playground equipment.
* Parkrun Cockermouth were awarded £4,800 for equipment for a new junior parkrun.
* Crosscanonby Parish Council were given £2,382 towards replacing safety netting at the village play park.
In total, the panel invested £15,382 into local projects at this meeting. All the projects support at least one of the panel’s priorities: Community health and wellbeing; Transport for the community; Community involvement; and Community resilience.
Chair of the Lakes to Sea Community Panel, Cllr Andrew Semple, said: “It’s inspiring to see the depth of community involvement in our panel area.
“And it’s gratifying to be able to invest in these active communities, and help bring their work and ideas to fruition. I hope each of these investments helps toward keeping the Lakes to Sea area a great place to live.”
Lisa Brown, Cumberland's Executive Member for Adults and Community Health, said: "These investments, and the community members who enable them, are the lifeblood of our towns and villages.
“Each of these projects will make a real difference, and I am proud the council is able to invest in them through Community Panels.”
