Permanent cafe for Silecroft moves nearer

Published: 25/02/2020

COPELAND Council has revealed how a new beach cafe at Silecroft could look.

The planned new cafe is part of the Connecting Cumbria's Hidden Coast project - a series of attractions and improvements to the footpaths linking Copeland's coast.

This week the council appointed architects Konishi Gaffney to oversee the design of the cafe. The project attracted 59 hopeful bids from across the UK.

The scheme uses three plastic boxes and one large white weighted bag to collect five materials.

The green box is for glass, the black one is for metals and plastic, and the blue one is for paper. Card goes into your weighted bag.

As well as giving you more room in your main bin, there's a whole host of ways in which small actions can have a big effect when it comes to plastic recycling.

When windy weather is forecast, we have some handy tips to help with your kerbside recycling.

We know boxes and bags can sometimes get blown around if the wind is particularly bad, and this can cause real litter problems, as well as the loss of the recycling materials to the service.

Our kerbside recycling service is available to 96 per cent of homes - you can check your calendar here to see if you have a collection, and when it will be.

The service uses two wheeled bins - one (with a blue lid) for paper and card, and a red-lidded one for metal, plastic and glass.
