If you believe Castletown is badly served by Penrith Town Council, this is your chance to make your voice heard ! By completing the Community Governance Review survey (link below) you can shape the future of Castletown for the better ! YOUR opportunity to get YOUR community and YOUR voice back ! Castletown Buzz believes we deserve better than Penrith Town Council, with it's missing investment and missing councillors !
Castletown deserves its own parish council (dumping Penrith Town Council), making its own decisions about OUR local area. The aim would be Castletown Parish Council with its own parish councillors (NO town councillors), setting our our own parish precept, which would highly likely be much less than the current Penrith Town Council precept. At present, Castletown residents are paying for things we don't get ie: dog poo bags for Fairhill ! This while OUR Castletown allotments remain under invested with wasted potential as a true community asset ! Most of our bus stops closed, roads unsafe etc etc.........
Use this 'review' to get YOUR voice back ! ! !

This site will help you find, share and participate in consultations that interest you.

No change.....virtually a year on ! Penrith Town Council-owned Brackenber allotment plot remains 'unfit' to let ! That's further lack of investment or interest by the town council, and its missing Lib Dem councillors, in west ward ! Meanwhile, they use OUR money£ to pay for dog poo bags in another part of the town !

Yet again, nothing for Castletown from this tiny cohort of 'unrepresentative' people spending OUR town council precept money£. Why do they not 'speak' to council taxpayers before wasting OUR £s ?

A councillor ward surgery is a regular, face-to-face meeting where local residents can speak directly with their elected ward councillor about any concerns or issues. These surgeries are held at a specific time and place, and people can attend without an appointment to discuss topics like local problems, council responsibilities, and community needs'.

How to find and attend a surgery :
Find your councillor.
Look up your local councillor through your council's website.

Westmorland and Furness Council says on its website :
'Local Councillors are elected by the community to decide how the council should carry out its various activities. They represent public interest as well as individuals living within the ward in which he or she has been elected to serve a term of office.
'They have regular contact with the general public through council meetings, telephone calls or surgeries. Surgeries provide an opportunity for any ward resident to go and talk their councillor face to face and these take place on a regular basis'.
