The workshop will address questions such as: What does this new way of working mean for your business? What does it mean for productivity, health and wellbeing, skills and talent and managing systems and processes? And are there any legal implications for your businesses, and if so what are these?
Jo Lappin, chief executive of CLEP and chair of the Local Resilience Forum’s Business and Economic Response and Recovery Group will host the session, with the employment and training team at Baines Wilson LLP discussing the legal implications.
Jo Lappin, said: “A wide range of research indicates that after the pandemic many workers and employers want to continue to work from home at least some of the time, presenting new opportunities for organisations to establish new ways of working.
Highways England is constructing the new roundabout along the A590 at Cross-a-Moor, south of Ulverston. It is expected to cost around £7 million with partnership funding from Highways England, Cumbria County Council, Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and South Lakeland District Council. Reader Peter Sullivan posted: “I really can’t see how spending any money on this is justified, let alone £7m. It just isn’t needed. A much bigger priority is doing something about the constant, dangerous queue on the A590 outside the Recycling Centre. Not to mention the countless holes, bumps, dips, and general decay of all the town’s roads, which are appalling and which the council does nothing unless someone reports the holes, despite them being visible to any member of Highways inspecting the roads. And even then, they’re poor repairs.”

The plans will allow the county council, working with Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership and Cumbria’s six district councils, to identify and deliver improved cycling and walking provision for local areas.
In Barrow, proposals include:
Segregated cycleways, pedestrian crossings and junction improvements for both cyclists and pedestrians on Bridge Road and Michaelson Road. These improvements would be funded by £886,000 grant from the Department for Transport’s Active Travel Fund.
