The issue was discussed at an online Brampton Parish Council on Tuesday evening. The town s landmark building is due to reopen at some point after the end of the latest Coronavirus lockdown, following a programme of renovation announced last year. Work has included the relocation of the visitor centre desk, the relocation of storage cupboards and a full renovation of the disabled toilet. At the meeting councillor Margaret Blake said: “I have been told that we could have a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant, I have been looking at the different things that they give them for. “There seems to be different levels of funding that you can apply for.
PROPOSALS by Brampton Parish Council would mean that residents who want to commemorate loved ones who died, with a park bench and plaque, would be charged up to £400. Councillors had previously considered the plans in December which included limiting the number of memorial benches on land that it controls . Additionally they decided to look at adopting proposals that would limit the types of benches and plaques that can be used. They are furthermore seeking to clarify their responsibility for their upkeep, who is liable if they are damaged or vandalised, and establish the the right of removal. The proposals state: The parish council will only permit memorial benches to individuals, and in exceptional circumstances, an historic event. Applications for memorials to pets will not be considered.
