Welcome to Duddon Parish Council

The Organisation

Duddon Parish is situated in South West Cumbria, mainly within the Lake District National Park, and was formed in 1976 to incorporate the old parishes of Broughton West, Seathwaite with Dunnerdale and Angerton.

The Parish

The Parish stretches from the summit of Wrynose Pass in the North to the Duddon Estuary on Morecambe Bay in the South.

Broughton-in-Furness
The main town within the parish is the small ancient market town of Broughton-in-Furness, which has a Charter dating back to 1575. 

The Valleys
Contained within the wide boundaries of the parish are the Duddon Valley, much beloved by Wordsworth, the secluded Lickle Valley, the beautiful Woodland Valley and the marshes of Angerton on the Duddon Estuary.

The Communities
The main hamlets in these valleys comprise Woodland, Broughton Mills, Ulpha, Dunnerdale, Seathwaite, Cockley Beck & Angerton.

Local Plan Event

local plan

What is the Local Plan and why does it matter to your community?

Thursday 21st May, 6.00-7.30pm

The Community Hall, Grizebeck, Kirkby in Furness, LA17 7XH

Please let us know on this eventbrite booking link if you plan to join us. (The event is free but booking is essential.)

ACT is hosting an information and discussion session with National Park Strategy Planner, Chloe Swift.

This is to flag the opportunity to input to the plan early and effectively in the lengthy statutory process which starts in the autumn. There is more information on the attached agenda.

The seminar is one of a series we have been delivering to answer questions that often come up about the purpose of the Local Plan, and what it can and cannot do for local communities. You may already have been involved in related conversations directly with the National Park or with Friends of the Lake District. We are all keen to get good information to communities about how to engage with planning matters.

The conversation is likely to be of interest to parish councillors and anyone in the community who has an interest in how Planning Policy shapes our places. Everyone is welcome, so feel free to share this email with people you know, but please do book here or get in touch.

Very many thanks,
