Wigton
Wigton is a market community in Cumbria, England. Historically in Cumberland, it exists just outside the Lake District in the borough of Allerdale. Wigton goes to the centre of the Solway Plain, in between the Caldbeck Fells as well as the Solway coast. It is served by Wigton train station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, as well as the A596 road to Workington. The town of Silloth-on-Solway exists twelve miles to the west, beyond Abbeytown. Wigton today is a flourishing market community, with livestock public auctions being held consistently at Hopes Auction Company. The main employer is Innovia Films. The community has its own high school, called The Nelson Thomlinson Institution, which is a well-performing extensive with close links to the Innovia manufacturing facility. In 2004 the community was the very first settlement in the United Kingdom to enforce a curfew on teenagers under the age of 16. It was in place for two weeks, and also its purpose was to lower the amount of vandalism in the town centre. It complied with every night criminal damage campaigns, which included smashed store fronts, along with scare tactics of senior members of the community. The curfew brought in national interest, with the neighborhood senior high school obtaining brows through from firms such as Sky News. It had some impact, with less criminal damage happening ever since.
