Carlisle Focus
Carlisle Focus is the City Council’s residents magazine and
includes information about City Council services, local events and
partnership initiatives. Every edition also includes a local events
listing, council meeting dates, city councillor contact details and
Customer Contact Centre opening times and contact details.
In 2007, Carlisle Focus won the Silver Award for "Best Newspaper
or Magazine", Chartered Institute of Public Relations (North West)
and was a finalist for "Magazine of the Year" at the British
Association of Communicators in Business (Northern Region).
Current issue - Winter/Spring 2011-12
This 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.
