Beach cleaners in action for the summer
Published: 20/05/2019
COPELAND Council has employed extra help to ensure its beaches stay pristine this summer.
The council takes on two seasonal beach cleaners every year from May until the end of September, to help deal with the extra litter created at the four amenity beaches and the nearby villages.
Gary Fletcher and John Harris pick up litter, empty bins and keep an eye on the recycling areas at St Bees Beach, Seascale, Haverigg and Silecroft beaches. Both men have experience in the role, having taken up the seasonal positions in previous years.
Copeland Council in Living Wage accreditation
Published: 20/05/2019
COPELAND Council has been accredited as a Living Wage Employer.
The council has achieved the endorsement from the Living Wage Foundation due to its commitment to paying its staff the living wage as a minimum.
The living wage - a rate calculated against the cost of living and a voluntary benchmark for employers - is currently £9 per hour (£17,363 per year) and is reviewed annually. It is currently 79p per hour more than the National Living Wage.
Copeland councillors voted to formally seek accreditation last year.

Elephants go on the road for recycling
Published: 14/05/2019
COPELAND Council is using striking images on its waste trucks to encourage residents to recycle.
The designs are part of the council's one year anniversary of its kerbside recycling service. In that year, residents recycled an impressive 3,354 tonnes through the kerbside scheme - equivalent to the weight of 650 elephants.
The eye-catching elephant-themed designs thank residents for their environmental commitment, and highlight the need for this to continue.
