New app allows easier parking payments

Published: 19/05/2021

COPELAND Borough Council has introduced an app to allow people to pay for their parking by phone.

The MiPermit system is available in all the council's pay and display car parks.

There are posters in the car parks explaining how to pay, using a number unique to each car park. The system also allows people to pay to extend their stay, without having to return to their car to buy another ticket.

The MiPermit app is an additional payment method and motorists can still pay with coins or a card. Parking charges have not changed.

Residents invited to take part in community garden project

Published: 18/05/2021

CLEATOR Moor residents are being invited to take part in a project to create a vibrant community space in the town.

Copeland Borough Council and Home to Work have joined forces to launch the garden project, with the aim of transforming land on the corner of William Morris Avenue.

The plot is currently under-used and in need of improvement, and the partners are inviting local residents to give their views on how it should be developed and used as a sustainable community space. This could include some allotment space set aside for the growing of plants and vegetables.

Due to the easing of Covid restrictions, and the Government’s decision to not extend the relevant legislation, Copeland Council has resumed in-person meetings from May 7, 2021.

Members of the public and press are welcome to attend council and committee meetings.

Attendance at meetings is being monitored in order to adhere to Covid-19 safety measures.  Advanced notice of public attendance must now be given to the Democratic Services Team due to restrictions on the number that can be in attendance at meetings at any one time.
