Cadent Gas were supposed to commence work on and around the canal towpath this weekend and had issued a towpath closure notice.   The town council has spoken to the company who didn’t come to site this weekend and have been informed that a local issue prevented them starting work.   They hope that this will be resolved in the next few weeks. The town council has asked them to make sure that information is put on the tow path and publicised through the media and social media and the town council councillors are informed together with  the Ulverston Canal ReverbNation Group so we can all inform the community

Great News.  Ulverston Lantern Festival will take place this year on Saturday 25 September.

Ulverston Town Team are working to develop a place vision for Ulverston.

This will help us:

• Attract new businesses to our towns and town centres.

• Increase and retain our working age population.

• Raise the standard of the physical environment in our towns and town centres.

• Increase the number of people living in our towns and town centres.

• Deliver new jobs and opportunities for economic and social participation.

• Increase the number of visitors who spend time and money in our towns and town centres.

We want to use the new place vision to build local pride and confidence in our great town, and to help us further develop Ulverston as we reignite our economy post coronavirus.

We want to hear what makes you proud about Ulverston, how you feel about the area and how you might like it to develop in the future. With this in mind, we want your views to help us understand local issues and priorities as well as ideas you may have for the future of Ulverston.

This is about:

• Making the town a better place to live

• Creating a place that people want to visit, to spend time and money

• Improving skills and creating jobs

• Making an environment where businesses choose to locate, stay and grow

• Improving Ulverston Town Centre

• Defining and celebrating what makes Ulverston special

• Recovering from Covid-19
