TOP STORY: Join the conversation and help shape our future
Every person living and working in Westmorland and Furness is invited to join the conversation into how we can together make the area better now and in the future [
].
Westmorland and Furness Council is preparing its first Local Plan – which looks ahead 20 years from now and considers how many new homes and workplaces that our area needs to continue to thrive, while also protecting our local and historic character and special landscapes, green spaces and environment.
A digital survey has gone live today and we are urging as many people as possible to let us know their views.
Conversations will also be happening at drop-in sessions all around Westmorland and Furness, starting in Kirkby Stephen on Wednesday, when people can talk to council officers to find out more about the process and contribute.
