At the annual Whicham Parish Council the following motion was unanimously agreed: “Whicham Parish Council issues a press statement rejecting the Area of Focus within its parish and makes representation to Nuclear Waste Services and Cumberland Council that the Area of Focus be removed from consideration as a potential GDF”
There was a very good turn out from the Parish with support from Bank Head estate residents (Haverigg).
The motion will go to the next Parish Council meeting in June.
The ordinary monthly Parish Council meeting in May discussed the external review of South Copeland GDF Community Partnership, which has not met for several months now. It was agreed that once the review has been published the Council will decide whether to remain members.
