Ulverston YH Plan Progresses
The scheme to open a youth hostel in Ulverston has moved a step closer to fruition, according to the North-West Evening Mail. Plans for the £3m project to convert Ford House into a four-star youth hostel have been completed and will now go before South Lakeland District Council’s planners.

The tricky step will be to raise the funding - to be sought from the council and also from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The Lottery aren’t expected to come to a decision before March 2008, so there’s still a long way to go.
Still, let’s hope the Ford Park Community Group pull this one off. It might go some way to fill the gap opened by the apparent closure of Duddon Estuary YH earlier this year.
