Join the Carlisle Youth Council to Judge Landscape Project

Carlisle City Council in partnership with the Landscape Institute has launched a two-stage design competition to select an outstanding designer or team of designers to prepare design proposals for a new multi-modal Greenway and Park which will form the centrepiece of some new Garden Village communities to be located to the south of Carlisle.

This is a project rich with opportunity, focused on selecting a design that demonstrates an outstanding and innovative piece of green infrastructure and that delivers a range of themes within an integrated landscape design. https://competitions.landscapeinstitute.org/st-cuthberts/

The competition has two stages – the first stage of judging has taken place and three entries have been shortlisted for Stage 2.

We would like to invite you to join the judging panel for Stage 2 of the Competition to choose a winning design from the three shortlisted.
