Cumberland News, Saturday December 25th, 1948
The Civic Year
Fundamental changes and developments in local municipal life have taken place during the past year. Generally they have been the sequel to national legislation or to the approval of civic schemes by Government Departments. Under the provisions of the National Health Service Act the Carlisle Corporation has submitted to the Minister a scheme, which has been approved, relating to health centres, health visiting, home nursing, domestic help, care of mothers and children, and the provision of other ancillary services connected with the Act. The Corporation has shown enterprise in acquiring residential accommodation for aged folk Aglionby children's home is now fully occupied, and Etterby Mission Hall purchased for youth purposes The Corporation's full scheme for the use of the old Gas Works site as a car park did not receive the blessing of the Ministry of Transport because of shortages of materials, but it is expected that the Minister will approve a modified scheme at an early date, thus enabling the Council to proceed with the work. Following the purchase by the city of all the Air Ministry's buildings at the Kingstown airport, negotiations on the flying side have reached such a stage that there is every possibility of an agreement being concluded to enable the airport to be fully operational next year. In regard to housing, 5773 dwellings have been erected by the Corporation since 1919, and of a further 356 which have been contracted for many are well advanced. Twenty-four flats have been occupied in Rydal Street, and eight combined shops and houses are being erected at Petteril Bank. The past year in the city has been one of great activity in the educational sphere. The authority's development plan for primary and Secondary education has been submitted to the Ministry. This envisages a fifteen years' programme of educational development involving a capital cost of £2 million. Many new schools are to be built, some closed, and the best of the existing ones renovated and converted. Commendable progress has also been made with the building of additional accommodation for senior pupils consequent on the raising of the school-leaving age. This takes the form of temporary hutting planned to last fifteen years. Of course huts are short-term projects to meet an immediate need, but parallel with these a programme of permanent building is also under way. Looking ahead to 1949 it is expected that the new schools at Belah and in the Raffles area, as well as the workshop block of the new Technical College, will be proceeded with.... more »

CONCERT AT LANGWATHBY. - A concert was held in the School-room, Langwathby, on Tuesday evening, being the last of a series of entertainments, for this winter, in aid of the School Building Fund. The readings, given once a fortnight, were well attended and seemed to give great satisfaction to the people assembled on every occasion; but the wind up was patronized by an overflowing house, the school being literally crammed, many not being able to obtain seats, and even the performers had to be accommodated in the class-room. The proceeds of the evening were about £5, which, we trust, will enable the committee to declare the school and class-rooms clear of all encumbrance. The following programme was most efficiently rendered, the performers being heartily applauded by the audience.... more »
