Natland Parish Council’s New Website

Our Parish Council now has a spanking new website which is available by clicking here. 

Information about Council matters will still be posted here, but past Agendas and Minutes will just be available on the website.

Community Conversation

 From: Nicholson, Lindsay <Lindsay.Nicholson@cumbria.gov.uk>

The Westmorland and Furness Community Safety Partnership is launching a Community Conversation to support the development of a new Community Safety Partnership Plan for 2027-30. 

 

The Community Conversation provides an opportunity for people to offer their views and feedback on a wide range of issues and concerns. The online questionnaire asks about how safe people feel in their local community and what type of crime has the most impact on them.

 

We would also like to hear views on what concerns people the most. We want to hear from residents, workers, businesses and community groups across Westmorland and Furness.

 

Findings from the survey will then be used to plan and shape the next set of priorities that the partnership will focus on over a three-year period.

 

The online survey can be found via this link: https://consult.westmorlandandfurness.gov.uk/community-safety/westmorland-and-furness-csp-community-survey-2026/  

It is open from the 3rd of August to the 18th of September. Those who do not have access to the internet can visit their local Westmorland and Furness Library to complete the survey online or request a paper copy.

 

Please feel free to share this information across your organisations and communities as the more people who take part, the better we can understand local concerns and work together to make a positive difference across Westmorland and Furness.

 

If you have any questions, please contact

csp@westmorlandandfurness.gov.uk

 

Many thanks
