The town itself was hit very hard by Covid, however even before that it was degrading quickly. But, with the shipyard doing well, and seemingly getting stronger, hopefully the town will get some money injected into it. I heard that they are themselves looking to do some stuff to make it more attractive to potential employees that work on site, etc. May be BS but fingers crossed.
Grew up in Lindal-in-Furness, although spent more time in Ulverston, until we were going out drinking, regularly.
Never too far away from, what I consider, the best scenery in the country.
