Wigton
Wigton is a market town in Cumbria, England. Historically in Cumberland, it lies just outside the Lake District in the borough of Allerdale. Wigton is at the centre of the Solway Plain, between the Caldbeck Fells as well as the Solway shore. It is served by Wigton railway station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, as well as the A596 roadway to Workington. The community of Silloth-on-Solway lies twelve miles to the west, beyond Abbeytown. Wigton today is a flourishing market community, with animals auctions being held consistently at Hopes Auction Company. The main company is Innovia Films. The community has its very own secondary school, called The Nelson Thomlinson School, which is a well-performing extensive with close links to the Innovia manufacturing facility. In 2004 the town was the very first settlement in the UK to enforce a curfew on teens under the age of 16. It remained in area for 2 weeks, as well as its aim was to decrease the quantity of vandalism in the town centre. It followed nighttime vandalism campaigns, which included smashed shop fronts, in addition to scare tactics of senior members of the neighborhood. The curfew drew in national interest, with the regional high school receiving gos to from companies such as Sky News. It had some result, with much less vandalism taking place since.
