The Parish Council has paid for and arranged the installation of a new LED streetlight on Beckside. This is because EDC refuses to replace the old sodium lights. There are plans to replace two more in Warcop when finances allow, namely on Gregson Terrace and in the Square/Triangle right in the middle of Warcop. Any others that fail in Sandford will also be replaced in due course.
The next meeting of Warcop Parish Council is on Thursday 6th April at 7:30 pm at the Parish Hall. All residents are welcome to attend.
Here are the Agenda and Minutes of the last meeting:
I am happy to announce the start of the new Saturday 563 bus service from 1 April. The attached A5 flyer is being printed and will be distributed in villages along the route as soon as possible.
Warcop Parish Council is contributing financially to help support this much-needed initiative. The bus will call at Warcop four times on the way out and three times on the way back. Passengers will be able to travel to Kirkby Stephen as well as Appleby or Penrith.
Please support this trial service if you can and it can then become a sustainable service
Here is a copy of the flyer and timetable:
| Can you Help? |
| Help for a Ukrainian Translator Needed I received a request this morning on behalf of a translator currently working at Warcop Camp. John Hope helps in this regard and he is asking if anyone in our community could spare a little time to meet Nadiya to help her improve her English. This is just conversational English which will help her do her work more effectively. Below is an extract from John’s email to give you a little more information and a contact number and email for him: I am a Job Club Volunteer working with a number of Ukrainians in Farnham, Surrey. One or whom, Nadiya, is working as a translator at Warcop Camp. She was a University Lecturer in the Ukraine and is looking for opportunities to improve her English, she would really benefit from the opportunity of practising English conversation with some friendly local people. As you mentioned folk, people staying on the camp that you have given lifts to, have said that they can feel very confined. For Nadiya to get off the camp and to talk about everyday UK things (non military) with (non military) people would be welcome on so many levels. You mentioned your Mailchimp group and the contacts you have in Musgrave as potential people who could help – these sound very hopeful. John 07713 654715 If you think you could help, please let me know or call John direct on his mobile or via his email j.hope@virgin.net Thank you in anticipation of your help. David Keetley |
We are pleased to announce that following an inspection by an Eden District Council Environmental Health Officer, Warcop Parish Hall was awarded a five-star rating for food hygiene. Well done to all the volunteers and trustees who work so hard to maintain these high standards.
The B4RN Warcop & Ormside working group have arranged a Public Meeting on Thursday 23rd March at 7:30pm at Warcop Parish Hall.
