Don’t get stung this summer

AS SUMMER season approaches, Copeland Council is reminding residents of its in-house pest control service.
Wasps can be a particular nuisance during the summer months and must be treated carefully.
The Council’s fully qualified and expertly trained pest control team is able to treat wasps’ nests for a fee. The team does not treat bees as they are an important part of our ecosystem.
Wasps and bees can often be mistaken for one another. While both can give a painful sting when provoked, wasps are naturally more aggressive and can sting multiple times when attacking.
Copeland’s taxi fares under review
Published: 22/06/2022
COPELAND Council is currently reviewing the maximum charges for Hackney carriages in the area.
The current table of fares was last reviewed in 2013 due to a significant increase in fuel prices at the time.
As a result of the recent rise in the cost of living, and fuel and maintenance cost increases, trade representatives have asked the Council to review the current charges - which haven’t increased in the last nine years.
