Refugee plan for council offices
Just how many Cumbria people support the local government shake up that has finally been given the go ahead.
Many of us agree with County Councillor Lord Liddle (pictured) that two unnatural communities have been created by the way that Cumbria has been split into two unitary authorities. The proposed split is unsustainable, he told the House of Lords.
Can the split be made palatable to Lord Liddle and other critics, at least for the time being? One idea that would meet everyone`s approval would be for the two authorities to reach out to help Ukraine and offer surplus accommodation to it
Surplus accommodation is surely now available all over the county following the big reduction of the present six local authorities into two.
A good example is Carlisle with its massive Civic Centre district council headquarters much of which was unused and surplus prior to the shake up. Possibly by now that surplus will have been doubled.
It must be that the same could be said about other district council headquarters at Penrith, Workington, Kendal and Barrow.
