• Sort out the toilets and the road system before trying to get World Heritage Status.  Elwyn Bradshaw, Ambleside. Read Reply

  The World Heritage Site should cover all Cumbria to benefit all aspects of life in our county. – Anon, Ambleside

  Lets get on with it.  The Lake District needs and deserves World Heritage Status.  Hadrian Wall and the Derwent Valley have definitely benefited from designation. R Martakies, Ambleside

  I think it is time that the Lake District joins the list of World Heritage Sites. I think the partnership between all these Cumbria organisations is very positive and would support whatever decision they reach for our National Park. – Anon, Ambleside

  I live in Hawkshead as a district nurse I am aware that this community needs to have affordable housing.  Without this we will lose the young people from the community which will threaten the viability of the school.  We already have difficulties in this area in providing service for the elderly at home as carers employed by agencies cannot afford to live here.  This can mean that elderly residents have to move away into residential care.  Affordable housing is key to preserving the community. – Liz Butterworth, Hawkshead Read Reply

• Benefits need to be quantified and costs disclosed and understood.  So far I am unconvinced by your exhibition.  David Shaw, Hawkshead Read Reply
