Urswick, Bardsea and Stainton Parish Council

Welcome to the website of Urswick, Bardsea and Stainton Parish Council, a civil Parish on the Furness Peninsula of the English county of Cumbria.

The Council meets approximately once every six weeks on Thursday evenings with the venue rotating between Urswick Parish Rooms, Bardsea Maltkiln and Stainton Recreation Hall. Meetings normally commence at 7:00 pm, but exceptions do occur, typically when a speaker has been invited to address the Council on a particular topic. The agenda, which is accessible from this page, should be checked for the dates and times of the meetings.

The Parish Council is committed to providing representation of its parishioners to obtaining improved levels of service from Westmorland and Furness Council. The maintenance of the physical environment of the parish is of great importance and as such the Parish Council is directly responsible for providing the following services to the villages:

• Commenting on all planning applications
• Small road maintenance issues
• Grass cutting
• Liaising with the police on issues such as dog fouling, speeding etc.
• Bus shelters
• Many small bits of land around the villages (mainly green spaces)
• The War Memorial
