Notes
from Caldbeck Parish Council
Allotments
The Allotments for Caldbeck Parish residents are sited in Hesket Newmarket behind the Chapel and Chapel House. They are all occupied at present but there is only a short waiting list so if any resident living anywhere in the parish (or within one half mile of the parish boundary) is interested in joining the waiting list please contact the Clerk.
Plastics recycling
The Parish Council has been trying to find a site for a Plastics Recycling cage but has had no success to date. The site would have to be the size of a carparking space as the cage is 2 metres high by 6 metres long by 4 metres wide. There also needs to be access for a lorry to drop the new cage beside the old, hook up and remove the old cage, and put the new cage in position. It was thought that Tenters carpark is often full so not enough room there. Other ideas were behind the Map Shop on the School Green (problems envisaged with access for the pickup lorry) or the parking area opposite the Bowling Club (problems envisaged with unsightliness). If anyone can think of a possible site in Hesket Newmarket or Caldbeck for the Council to consider please contact the Clerk.
