Carlisle United get planning permission on new parking site near Brunton Park
A RESIDENTIAL Carlisle yard next to Brunton Park, in Warwick Road, can be converted into a hardstanding parking area planners have ruled. Carlisle United Football Club submitted the planning application for the site next to 275 Warwick Road and the decision to grant planning permission was taken on Monday (April 28). According to the application form it would provide five parking spaces for the club. A planning report concludes: 'The proposal is considered to be acceptable in principle. The scale and design of the proposed car park is considered to be acceptable and a condition has been added to the permission to require the applicant to submit details of the proposed boundary treatment. 'The proposal would not have an adverse impact on highway safety, and subject to conditions, it would not have an adverse impact on flood risk or biodiversity. In all aspects, the proposal is considered to be compliant with the relevant polices in the adopted Local Plan.' According to the report the local highway authority had no objection to the application as it was considered that it will not have an impact on the safety and operations of the highway network. The application received a letter of objection which states that the terraced property block concerned is a unique and historic residential block of traditional housing. It adds: 'The application will significantly impact the residential nature of the properties, create more noise from the parking and cause potential flood impact to adjacent properties.' It raised a number of other concerns including: the impact on the neighbouring residents; the impact to the flood risk of neighbouring properties; the creation of the parking area will raise the ground and remove porous ground that currently can take flood waters prior to levels reaching the properties; and increased noise that will come from the cars coming and going. A separate report states that the proposed development is to utilise the rear yard to form a new tarmac hardstanding which can be utilised for vehicle parking and it is proposed that access to the site would be via Thirlwell Gardens. It adds: 'The new compound will be fully fenced off from Thirwell Gardens to the east and the remaining rear yard of 275 Warwick Road. A double access gate will be provided at the access point from Thirlwell Gardens.'

Popular Greek restaurant preparing to celebrate 25th anniversary in Carlisle
A popular Greek restaurant in Carlisle is preparing to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Alexandros, which is located on Warwick Road and specialises in 'authentic Greek cuisine', will celebrate its 25th anniversary in Carlisle in September. The popular restaurant was opened by owners Aris and Sarah Pathanoglou on September 7, 2000, who also opened the popular Alexandros Greek Deli in 2009. Ahead of this the quarter of a century milestone, the pair sat down with the News & Star to reflect on 25 years in business and preview their upcoming anniversary celebrations. "We planned to come to Carlisle for five years to see how it goes and then maybe go back to Greece," Aris said. "After five years, the customers kept coming back, and the business kept on getting better. "We have a very good relationship with our customers, and their support is amazing. "They have been coming for almost 25 years now, and everyone loves the food." "I think this restaurant has become special because we have shown our customers something different," Sarah added. "Everything we make is from scratch because we couldn't find it in Carlisle 25 years ago. There was no Greek yogurt, no Greek feta, no olive oil, so we had to get it, find it, or make it, and we made it from scratch. "Whatever you get here is authentic and homemade." To celebrate their 25th anniversary, Aris and Sarah are planning to hold a special event in September, which will be similar to events that they have hosted for Alexandros' previous milestone anniversaries. In addition, this event will follow an established tradition at Alexandros of raising money for a local charity, with Aris and Sarah previously donating thousands of pounds to charities such as Cash for Kids. However, this year the pair are discussing whether to raise funds for the Carlisle-based Eden Valley Hospice. "We have always done Cash for Kids, however, I have been thinking about the hospice. "I think the hospice would be a really nice idea because it is very local, and the money we raise wouldn't go out of Carlisle. "However, people from all over have to use and it is so important, and we know so many people who have been supported by them as well."
