Natland Parish Council - Minutes of November meeting

At the last Parish Council Meeting PCSO Marion Jeffery introduced herself as the new PCSO for this parish and answered a number of questions regarding policing in the parish and area.  She said that it is hoped the 101 service will be improved in due course and informed the Council of the facility whereby "101@cumbria.police.uk" can be emailed with reports of non-emergencies, in order to avoid waiting for a telephone response.  

The Parish Council also discussed Highway and Planning matters, including the possibility of closing the newly opened road over Helm to through traffic. Click here for the full report.
