Cllr Kenworthy reported that he had sent aemails to Cllr Hitchento ascertainprogress between CCC and Copeland and was still awaiting a response. There is currently a legal dispute between Cumbria County Council and Copeland Borough Council regarding who is responsible for the erosion.
It was agreed that this matter would be raised again with Cllr Hitchen and if no progress made a letter then be sent to the Mayor of Copeland to escalate
This is progressing and it is expected to commence at the end of the year.
The group are preparing a new plan. The village site survey has still to be done and the results sent to the Dept for Education to seek permission to develop.
It is estimated that there will be 40-50 tons of spoil to be removed and there would be an on-cost for removal. Cllr Kenworthy reminded that based on previous communications with the EA re options for spoil storage for the beach up to 100 ton of non contaminated spoil can apparently be placed on farmland without seeking permission.
Phil Clegg is negotiating with landowners regarding specification for footpath. There is to be no cycling or horses allowed on, fences to be single wire to stop cattle but to allow sheep to graze. Stiles/gates at each end.
S106 money from Wellbank development was to pay for the footpath, but it will only pay for the drainage.
Costings and nomination of contractors still to be determined.
There was nothing to report as yet.
