THERE was a full attendance for the last meeting of the parish council for the year.
The council is trying to trace correspondence files relating to the transfer of seven sites of parish land.
Playdale’s contracts’ supervisor has visited the playground and agreed to rectify faults highlighted by inspections. The work is now proceedling. Cumbria County Council has agreed to clear the pipe, which drains the field to the north of the playground.
It was agreed that interviews with applicants to take over the duties of clerk to the council should be carried out after Christmas.
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 the council agreed to adopt the model scheme of publication, without any optional clauses.
It was reported that an electronic parish notice board will be available for use by the parish council on the Cumbria Association of Local Council’s website (www.calc.org.uk).
Since the hedge on the Low Road (the lane behind the Athenaeum) was not now causing an obstruction to traffic, the county council would not take any action.
It was suggested that a remembrance wreath from the parish council should be placed on the war memorial at the church in future years and this will be discussed at the next meeting on January 27.

THE Old School meeting room has been re-opened after extensive renovation. Many village people attended a coffee morning to view the excellent work which included complete re-roofing, new entrance, updated toilets (with disabled facilities), also redecoration which was in the hands of John and Jane Cushnie who were assisted by the Mother and Toddler group and general help by church members.
There was a Traidcraft stall and another with wood carvings in aid of the Tear Fund.
Profits from the cake and Christmas stalls will go to church funds.
