Sunday, December 14th, 2008

pact_yellow_120.jpgThe University of Cumbria’s Head of Estates and new Travel Plan Coordinator attended the December PACT meeting to talk to residents about ongoing traffic and parking issues in the ward. The new travel coordinator has only been in post two weeks, so has yet to get to grips with the problems, but after attending the meeting now understands the extend of local residents’ frustrations. He has agree to attend the March 2009 PACT meeting (3rd, 7.30pm, University of Cumbria) to update residents on the progress he is making to help address the issues.
 
The University’s Head of Estates also gave out a local telephone number for resdients to call if that have any issues regarding the University. The number goes through to Estates and if they are unable to help directly, they have promised to forward calls to the most appropriate person within the University. That telephone number is: 01524 384564

A Lament for Lancaster

Monday, September 29th, 2008

save-logo.jpgSAVE Britain’s Heritage, the national group that campaigns to protect  buildings at risk, have weighed in to the debate over the redevelopment of Lancasters Canal Corridor. They say “SAVE challenges Lancaster City Council not to put short-term economic gain ahead of long-term sustainability. If the city’s aspirations as the ‘Bath of the north’ are to be met then a sensitive, conservation led approach to new development must be adopted. This insensitive scheme would blight the city, damage its special character and endanger its long-term economic future. It must be abandoned.”

The group have created a slideshow  – A Lament for Lancaster.
That can be viewed on the  SAVE Britain’s Heritage website.

SAVE have put in an official objection to the scheme which will be heard by the local planning committee at a special two day hearing on the 13th & 14th of October.
