Copeland’s brand-new zoo inspector

Published: 30/09/2022

EXOTIC animals are in safe hands with Copeland Council’s new local authority zoo inspector.

Quinn Wright, Environmental Protection Technical Officer, is now a certified inspector after undergoing two days of intense training, helping make sure the borough’s exotic animals are safe and well cared for.

The council’s environmental health team is responsible for animal licencing across the borough, and for carrying out regular inspections of Copeland’s only zoo at present – at Muncaster Castle.

Big step forward for Local Plan

Published: 28/09/2022

COPELAND Council has submitted the Local Plan to the Secretary of State for a Public Examination.

The examination process, which will be led by a Planning Inspector, will consider the proposed Local Plan, and all supporting evidence including assessments, and responses to public consultations. It will determine whether the Local Plan is legally compliant and sound - and make recommendations if needed.

Once the examination process is completed, it is hoped that the Local Plan will be adopted in mid to late 2023 - guiding development and investment in the borough until 2038.
