A DECISION is expected on the Lake District's bid for World Heritage status on Sunday (July 9).
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation will make the announcement.
The bid was submitted by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and Historic England (HE) as the UK’s only submission in 2016.
It was put together by the Lake District National Park Partnership (LDNPP) – 25 partner organisations that work together to manage the Lake District.
The decision for inscription will be made at the 41st UNESCO committee meeting held in Krakow, Poland.
Inscription is in the ‘Cultural Landscapes’ category. This reflects the three themes that underpin the bid which are identity, inspiration and conservation.
