New Solway Military Trail Launches

A group of local enthusiasts from military heritage visitor attractions around the Solway has come together to develop a new Solway Military Trail.

There is a rich history of a military presence in and around south Scotland and north Cumbria particularly around the Solway coast.  The quiet, rural surroundings coupled with access from ports such as Stranraer, Cairnryan and Silloth made the Solway coast a perfect location for munitions factories in both world wars, RAF airfields, flying boat bases, practice bombing ranges and secret testing sites.

So why not visit the website now and find out some of the hidden stories of the Solway – click here

The Solway Military Trail Project has been kindly supported by Allerdale Borough Council and Foundation Scotland.  
 
 
MMO Iteration 3 Online Engagement

The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) are nearly at the end of their Iteration 3 online engagement on the development of the North West Marine Plan.  The vision for the North West Marine Plan is 'Beautiful, energetic and connected’.

It's not too late to have your say as the online engagement closes on Friday 29 March 2019. The online process is the most comprehensive way to view and provide comment on the Iteration 3 products:

  • preferred draft policies;
  • draft supporting text for policies including on implementation; and
  • the next steps in marine planning.
