About Crosthwaite and Lyth Parish Council
The Parish Council is made up of elected representatives from the local community and is the first tier of local government. It works closely with residents on matters that affect the Parish and works in partnership with other bodies to achieve benefits for the Parish. It seeks to keep Parish assets and infrastructure in good order and undertakes projects and schemes that benefit the locality. It spends much of its time liaising with other authorities and agencies to resolve issues that affect the quality of life of its residents. It works closely with the Westmorland and Furness Council, helping it and other bodies keep in touch with the local community. As a formal consultee on planning matters it considers and feeds-back its views on planning applications. In order to conduct its business, it employs a part-time Clerk and a Finance Officer. The Parish Council is funded principally through an annual precept which is levied on local taxpayers and reflected in the Council Tax. It uses this to support the administration of its business and to enhance the services provided by other authorities.
Members of the public are welcome to attend Parish Council meetings and have an opportunity at each meeting to address the Council about any subject.
Please see the Agenda page (via the link at the top of this page) for details of upcoming Parish Council meetings. Forthcoming meetings are listed on the Events and Meetings page and meeting Minutes are on the Minutes page.
