Welcome

Staveley and Ings have a long history and many fine traditions. Nestled at the foot of the beautiful Kentmere valley and bisected by the rivers Gowan and Kent, the two villages provide a natural gateway to the Lake District but also offer residents and visitors so much more. They are simply brimming with life.

While mountain biking may have replaced bobbins as the focus of local activity, today our communities have diversified to provide a wealth of local services, shops, businesses and voluntary organizations far outstripping other villages of a similar size. Best of all Staveley and Ings enjoy a vibrant community spirit, which marks them out as special places to live, work and visit.

Staveley with Ings Parish Council was established as recently as 2004 when the councils representing the civil parishes of Hugill, Nether Staveley and Over Staveley decided our communities would be better served by one representative body. Since then we have produced two ambitious Parish Plans, which have set out our aspirations for the future.

In 2021, with the contributions and involvement of the community, the Staveley with Ings Community Plan was developed. It aims to set out a direction for the next 10 years, within a process that allows regular reflection and renewal, and enables our community to learn and share achievements.

The Parish Council will work within the new Community Plan to make the community an even better place for residents, businesses and visitors today and for the generations that follow.
