Community Noticeboard

This page was developed together with people in Loweswater and other LCP participants. It contains information about past LCP meetings and links to the minutes of these meetings, and results from group-work activities carried out between 2007-2010.

Since January 2011, the LCP is community led and publicizes its forthcoming events and news on the Melbreak Communities website.

A photograph of LCP participants taking part in the last LCP meeting organized and led by the University research team on the 15th of December 2011, taken by Prof. John Macfarlane, can be found here.
