Welcome to the website of Councillor Duncan Fairbairn, Cumbria County Councillor and District Councillor for Allerdale.

My name is Duncan Fairbairn and I live in Aikton Parish. I have been a Parish Councillor in Aikton some 30 years. I first became a Cumbria County Councillor in the 1977 / 81 council for the Thursby, Caldbeck Ward, retiring for business reasons. Having less business commitments in 2001, I stood again for Cumbria County Council in the Bowness, Thursby and Caldbeck Ward, and became their councillor. I stood again in 2005 and was re-elected.

On the County Council, I am on 2 Scrutiny Panels: Theme D Children and Young People, and on Theme C, Vulnerable Adults for which I am Vice Chairman.

I am also on the Archives Committee, Cumbria Local Access Forum, Personnel Cases, and am a reserve for the Standards Committee, the Development Control and the Pensions Committee.

I am on a number of Outside Bodies such as : Age Concern North West Cumbria, The Solway AONB, and the North Allerdale Partnership (MTI).

As an Allerdale Councillor, I am on the Standards Committee and the Allerdale Community Fund.

In 2003, I also stood for Allerdale Borough Council and became the District Councillor for Warnell Ward. I am on a number of committees including the Health Scrutiny (scrutinising the NHS services), the Environmental Quality and Safety Scrutiny (Fire Service, Waste Disposal and many Safety issues) and Archives. I also Chair the Scrutiny Panel Theme D of the Cumbria County Council: Improving the Life Chances and Well-Being of Children and Young People.
