National Park chairman to take part in in-cumbria Q&A
Published at 15:38, Tuesday, 22 January 2013
After several weeks of fierce debate about the future of the Lake District ignited by controversies about Honister’s zip wire plans and the underground nuclear dump debate the chairman of the National Park has agreed to take part in a question and answer session with Cumbrian businesses.
The rejection of plans for Honister Mine’s zip wire plans led to accusations that the Lake District National Park authority was a hindrance to economic growth and the nuclear waste repository proposal has thrown up fundamental questions about the relationship between Cumbria and the nuclear industry.
Now chairman Bill Jefferson has promised to address these and any other issues raised by Cumbrian businesses.
So if you have a quesiton about the future of Cumbria or doing business in the Naitonal Park send them to in-cumbria.com and we’ll publish Mr Jefferson’s replies
