Cumbria is set to take centre stage at the Houses of Parliament next month as political leaders, investors and industry representatives gather together for an economic showcase.
The council's Cabinet member for Communities, Customer Services, Culture and Communications, Councillor Helen Chaffey, has provided a detailed update on the closure of Barrow Market and the future of the market and Forum.
As part of an ambitious multi-million-pound town centre transformational ‘Heart of Barrow’ project - plans are being proposed that would see the Forum and market hall buildings demolished.
Westmorland and Furness Council is planning to use new powers from government to get unused buildings back into productive use, bringing energy, enterprise, and footfall back to our town centres.
The first phases of a new scheme to create a dedicated space for people to safely walk, wheel and cycle along Abbey Road in Barrow are nearing completion.
