District Boundaries Rearrangement

West Cumberland Times - 2 May 1931

Re-Arrangement of District Boundaries - Speeding up the Work   The minutes of the Parliamentary Committee to come before  the Cumberland County Council next week refer to the alteration of county district boundaries.  The Clerk reported that in order to avoid congestion of the work, the Ministry of Health had intimated that they would be glad if as many proposals as possible could be submitted before the end of June, 1931.  The Ministry also suggested that a time table should be prepared fixing dates for the various stages of the review.   The Clerk suggested that it would greatly facilitate the review if the county was divided into four areas, and a subcommittee appointed for each area to consider and report upon all matters arising in their repective areas in connection with the review, and further, to arrange such conferences with the various District Councils in their areas as might be deemed necessary.  A letter was read from Captain DICKINSON regarding the future of the parishes of Lamplugh and Ennerdale and Kinniside and the township of Salter and Esket.   The Committee resolved that the recommendations of the various District Councils and the joint report and observations of the Clerk, County Surveyor, and County Accountant in connection with the review, be referred in the first instance to a special sub-committee, for consideration and report. The subcommittee was constituted as follows:  Mr. ROBERTS, Mr. CALLIGHAN, Mr. EDMONDS, Mr. HOLLIDAY, Mr. McGOWAN, Mr. SADLER, Mr. SIMPSON, Brigadier-General SPEDDING, and Canon SUTTON. ___________
