Lake District National Park

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will advise the Lake District National Park Authority not to accept any offer to purchase Stickle Tarn until such time as South Lakeland District Council has processed and determined the application to place the tarn site on the List of Community Assets.

Answer

I understand that, following the formal tender process, the Authority did not find a bidder for Stickle Tarn who fully met its requirements or fully addressed the concerns expressed by the local community and various interested parties. It remains committed to exploring alternative responsible ownership for Stickle Tarn and will work with the community and interested groups in the coming weeks.
