The Lake District National Park Authority website has information about the organisation itself, the background to the creation of the National Parks, the aims of the Authority and its role within local government in Cumbria.
There are a number of documents which supplement the information on the website. ‘A vision for the Lake District National Park 2006-2030’ gives an overview of the future direction of the National Park, and combined with the ‘Local Code of Corporate Governance’ and the ‘Lake District National Park Partnership’ provides an excellent view of how we are organized to deliver the strategy.
Every 5 years, the Lake District National Park Authority produces a Management Plan. A three-year cycle for the ‘Business Plan’ provides further details on how the overall Management Plan will be achieved. To supplement this information, a number of corporate publications and plans are listed on the website, including links to the Annual Report Summary and the Annual Report.
The website lists the committees and shows the diary of meetings for the year. Each committee has its own section on the website, outlining the scope of its jurisdiction. For each committee there is also a section containing agendas, minutes of previous meetings and associated papers.
You can also look at paper copies of committee agendas, and associated papers in the reception area of Murley Moss headquarters.
The committees were restructured in early 2009. The restructuring is described in the ‘Scheme of Delegation’, and the document links above also provide access to the terms of reference for the committees.
The website has information about the staff organisation, and the individual profiles of each of the Members.
