Plumbing in Wigton

Wigton

Wigton is a market town in Cumbria, England. Historically in Cumberland, it exists simply outside the Lake District in the borough of Allerdale. Wigton is at the centre of the Solway Plain, between the Caldbeck Fells and the Solway coast. It is served by Wigton train station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, and also the A596 road to Workington. The community of Silloth-on-Solway lies twelve miles to the west, past Abbeytown. Wigton today is a thriving market town, with animals auctions being held routinely at Hopes Auction Company. The primary company is Innovia Films. The community has its own secondary school, called The Nelson Thomlinson Institution, which is a well-performing comprehensive with close links to the Innovia manufacturing facility. In 2004 the town was the very first negotiation in the United Kingdom to implement a curfew on teenagers under the age of 16. It was in place for 2 weeks, and also its purpose was to reduce the amount of vandalism in the town centre. It followed every night criminal damage projects, which included shattered store fronts, as well as scare tactics of elderly members of the community. The time limit brought in national attention, with the neighborhood high school getting sees from agencies such as Sky News. It had some effect, with less vandalism occurring ever since.
