The Council has received many positive comments welcoming the new harbourside sculpture. The design of the feature is based around important aspects of Maryport’s development, including: its Roman history; the influence of Humphrey Senhouse; mining; railways; shipbuilding; & other maritime connections including The Titanic & The Bounty.
The Town Council held its annual Best Kept Garden & Container Competition in August. There were some fabulous entries, & the judges had great difficulty in selecting their favourites.
