Mid Copeland GDF Community Partnership would like to know what matters to people living in Gosforth electoral ward by gathering a wide range of views and ideas from across the community.
The Partnership is reaching out as part of its activities around the Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) programme to give people an opportunity to get involved in creating a community vision by considering what is important to them.
Community visioning forums are being held for people to get involved. If you live in the electoral ward, please register in advance by going to: midcopelandcommunityvisioningforums.gdfevents.co.uk and choose one of the four events:
- Wednesday, Sept 18, 9-11am: Gosforth Public Hall
- Wednesday, Sept 18, 2-4pm: Bailey Ground Hotel, Seascale
- Thursday, Sept 19, 10am-12noon: Beckermet Reading Rooms
- Thursday, Sept 19, 2-4pm: Thornhill Social Club
Andy Pratt, Chair of Mid Copeland GDF Community Partnership, said:
“We would like to hear a range of opinions and views as part of this visioning work. The relaxed and informal sessions will explore what you would like to see in the near and long term. We’ve also been working with local groups of young people to get their ideas.
“A vision could include things that residents aspire to, there may also be areas they don’t want to change – come along to a forum and share what matters to you to help shape the future of our community should a GDF be hosted in Mid Copeland.”
