'pong' again this evening !

One of the Brackenber allotment plots which needs to be made 'fit for purpose' ! Who is responsible for ensuring plots are in a fit condition to be let out ? The 'landlord' is Penrith Town Council.
The allotments are 'managed' by Penrith Allotment Association.
Surely, one of them must take responsibility !
Otherwise, its more Castletown allotment plots going to waste !

Anyone any idea ? No parking permit, sitting for couple weeks. Should this be reported to council/police as an abandoned vehicle ?

Here we have it ! Lib Dem west ward Penrith town councillor Davies, did NOT visit an animal rendering plant in west ward in her official councillor role. It was a party political visit. She was there as a Lib Dem, NOT a west ward town councillor ! So do not expect any feedback, consultation, progress on the issue by her on behalf of residents/local community. See Freedom of Information answer (below) from Penrith Town Council in response to request for minutes of the meeting :
'Under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, Freedom of Information requests make provision for the disclosure Following a search of our paper and electronic records I have established that the information you requested is not held by the Town Council. The visit was not made in an official capacity representing Penrith Town Council and we have not been formally advised of the visit. We understand that the visit was arranged by Tim Farron’s office so any request for information regarding minutes of the meeting should be made there.
Kind regards
​Rosalyn Richardson, Deputy Town Clerk.'
