A communication has been received from M Sport relating to noise management on the use of the new test track.

You will find a copy of the letter to download at the bottom of this page.

There is a means of communicating with M Sport over this matter mentioned below:-

Good Afternoon

You may be aware that Allerdale’s Development Panel approved our application ADD/2020/0001 yesterday, therefore we will be starting to operate the M-Sport Evaluation Centre test track imminently.

I just wanted to get in touch with you about how you can contact us regarding our use of the track. We have just published a new website, www.mec-track.co.uk, which is dedicated to informing the local community about our use of the track, and includes a calendar of our planned use and contact details.

I also wanted to let you know about the letter that we’ve just distributed to residents of Dovenby and other properties close to the Dovenby Hall Estate – I have attached a copy of this letter for your records. Please feel free to share this with anyone you consider necessary.

Many Thanks

Katie

Footpaths leaflet
31 May 2020

In 2001 Margaret and the late John Thorpe produced a footpaths map of the parish of Bridekirk.

The original was a paper copy, which is now reproduced here as a downloadable document.

If you are printing these pages, it is recommended that you download the files and print from Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Do not try to print from your web browser, as it may print small images of the pages.

It is interesting to see the photograph of Rook Farm as it was before its redevelopment for housing.
