Saving Walkmill Woods

22nd July. After a break of several months due to lockdown the Walkmill Community Woodland subcommittee of Moresby Parish Council met up by Zoom. The community asset transfer we applied for many months ago had been on the verge of being put to panel when lockdown struck. Representatives from the Parish Council, Walkmill Action Group and the West Cumbria Rivers Trust met and we all reaffirmed our commitment to the asset transfer from the County Council to Parish Council to save Walkmill from being sold away from public to private ownership. We learnt that the asset transfer was due to be discussed at the September panel meeting. All fingers are crossed that it will be brought to panel and passed in Sept. This is just after we are due to leave the area. I really hope it will be good news.
