The Holme Low Annual Parish meeting is to take place on Tuesday 18 April 2017 at 7.30pm in Silloth Community Hall, Petteril Street, Silloth.
The Annual Parish Meeting differs from the quarterly Parish Council meetings as it is a meeting of Parish electors which takes place in April each year. Electors can contribute to the agenda of this meeting by contacting the Clerk prior to the meeting. It is an opportunity to discuss local activities and current issues in the community.
We now have details of a replacement service to be offered by Ellenvale Coaches on the route.
The new 60E timetable is attached.
The new services will start on Monday 30th January 2017, following the withdrawal of the current Reay’s service on the Saturday 28th.
Please note the results of these changes are:
· Increased frequency
· No service to Skinburness on Saturdays
· Extends to Dearham, Sun Inn and Town Croft now served by Service 60 to Maryport

£15,000 AVAILABLE TO COMMUNITY GROUPS IN & AROUND SILLOTH
Community groups located close to the Hellrigg Wind Farm in Silloth are being encouraged to apply for grants between £500 and £10,000.
The money comes from the Hellrigg Community Benefit Fund and is available through Cumbria Community Foundation on behalf of RWE Innogy UK. Funding is available for charitable activities in Silloth or the parishes of Home St Cuthberts, Holme Low and Holme Abbey.
The fund supports environmental projects such as those that improve the environmental sustainability of community facilities or improve the energy efficiency of residents on low income, as well as community and educational related projects. Grants have previously been awarded to local sports teams, youth organisations and community events such as the Silloth Vintage Rally.
Annalee Holliday, Grants and Donor Services Officer at the Foundation, said: “The Hellrigg Community Benefit Fund provides vital support to organisations that are at the heart of these communities. Sometimes these organisations need only a small amount of financial support to help them achieve their goals; the fund is designed just for that.”
Applications are now open until Friday 7th October 2016. To find out more about the Hellrigg Community Benefit Fund visit www.cumbriafoundation.org or contact Annalee Holliday on 01900 82470 or email annalee@cumbriafoundation.org
