Wigton
Wigton is a market town in Cumbria, England. Historically in Cumberland, it exists just outside the Lake District in the district of Allerdale. Wigton goes to the centre of the Solway Plain, between the Caldbeck Fells as well as the Solway shore. It is offered by Wigton train station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, and also the A596 road to Workington. The town of Silloth-on-Solway lies twelve miles to the west, past Abbeytown. Wigton today is a prospering market community, with livestock public auctions being held routinely at Hopes Auction Company. The primary employer is Innovia Films. The town has its very own high school, called The Nelson Thomlinson School, which is a well-performing detailed with close links to the Innovia manufacturing facility. In 2004 the town was the very first settlement in the United Kingdom to enforce a time limit on young adults under the age of 16. It was in place for 2 weeks, as well as its objective was to reduce the quantity of vandalism in the town centre. It adhered to every night criminal damage campaigns, that included wrecked store fronts, in addition to intimidation of senior participants of the area. The time limit drew in nationwide focus, with the regional high school getting visits from companies such as Sky News. It had some effect, with much less vandalism occurring since.
