Have your say!

Vote on a new name for the Wave centre, Maryport (which is about to undergo major refurbishment), colours for new public realm signage, and a new emblem depicting Maryport which will be used on that signage.

School children across Maryport have come up with a list of potential names for the Wave.

They’ve taken the building’s future use, and elements of the town’s history, as their inspiration and the shortlist of suggestions is:
• The Maryport Adventure Centre
• Maryport Activity Centre
• Maryport Adventure Hub
• The White Star Centre
• Broadside
There are three options for the colour of the new signage, which will comprise classic fingerposts as well as monoliths featuring maps and a specially-commissioned illustration by Maryport artist Alan Roper.

The new emblem for the town will be used on finials on top of the finger posts, and be incorporated on the monoliths. The designs include Maryport’s historic lighthouse, the famous Christ Church, and a maritime theme.

Voting is open now and will continue until 5pm on Tuesday 2 January 2024.

Have your say at www.cumberland.gov.uk/maryport or vote in person at Maryport Town Hall, Maryport Library or at the Wave, all of which are open until Friday 22 December. Voting forms are available in all locations.

Members of the Maryport Regeneration Team will also be available to talk about these schemes at the Town Hall, Senhouse Street, on:
• Tuesday 12 December, 10am to 4pm.
• Wednesday 13 December, 2pm to 7pm.

Can you help?

The Parish Council yesterday inspected the older log equipment on the Welfare Field and discovered it needs some minor renovation.

We would like to put together a working party of volunteers to help with this.

It will mainly involve sanding down small areas of the wooden structures and applying wood filler to some cracks in the timber.

If you can volunteer a couple of hours (or more) to help us with this, we would be most grateful.

Donations of raffle prizes and cakes gratefully received x
