Current issue - Winter/Spring 2011-12

Carlisle Focus Winter/Spring 2011-12This edition is packed full of news, activities and events for winter and spring. We've included a round-up of our festive programme including the Santa Parade (this year starting from Carlisle Castle), Talkin Tarn's Green Grotto and the Market Hall's Fancy Dress Christmas Party.

There are three competitions to take part in, with panto tickets and the chance to win a digital camera and cinema system up for grabs. It also features progress on major schemes within Carlisle, including the Carlisle Northern Development Route and John Street Hostel improvements.

There's also some advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau and tips on how to stay safe and healthy this winter. I hope that you enjoy reading Carlisle Focus and have a Happy Christmas and prosperous New Year.
