Wigton
Wigton is a market community in Cumbria, England. Historically in Cumberland, it lies simply outside the Lake District in the borough of Allerdale. Wigton goes to the centre of the Solway Plain, in between the Caldbeck Fells and also the Solway shore. It is offered by Wigton train station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, and the A596 road to Workington. The community of Silloth-on-Solway lies twelve miles to the west, past Abbeytown. Wigton today is a flourishing market community, with animals public auctions being held on a regular basis at Hopes Auction Company. The primary employer is Innovia Films. The town has its very own secondary school, called The Nelson Thomlinson College, which is a well-performing thorough with close links to the Innovia factory. In 2004 the community was the initial settlement in the United Kingdom to implement a curfew on teenagers under the age of 16. It remained in location for 2 weeks, as well as its objective was to decrease the amount of vandalism in the town centre. It followed nightly vandalism campaigns, which included smashed shop fronts, as well as scare tactics of elderly members of the neighborhood. The time limit brought in nationwide interest, with the regional high school obtaining visits from agencies such as Sky News. It had some impact, with much less criminal damage occurring since.
