Looking to the future in Silloth

With tickets for Solfest and Silloth Music and Beer Festival now on sale, Silloth's looking to the warmer days to come. Scoping plans for the former Fisons plant reveal proposals to build 270 houses on the site and a public consultation into a scheme for Silloth Green will be launched later this month. There's certainly plenty to look forward to in the town. If you have an event coming up, get in touch with sillothlocal. Email me at snewstead@cngroup.co.uk.
