Westmorland and Lonsdale MP Tim Farron has today thanked residents for the tremendous level of local support they have shown to the campaign to bring radiotherapy services to Westmorland General Hospital.
South Lakes MP Tim Farron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg are today announcing proposals to extend free early years education to 900 families with two-year-olds in Cumbria will be published by the Government today.
We now have two new and upcoming events listed:
Lib Dem leader Cllr David Kendall is very encouraged by the progress made to date by the cross party Town Hall Delivery group on future plans for the Town Hall.
The Conservative report on car park charges places the blame squarely on market town traders and the national economy, and refuses to accept that higher costs are driving people away from our town centres. In November's Full Council meeting, Wiltshire Lib Dems challenged the Conservative whitewash, and demanded 30 minutes free parking in every (Band 3) market town, but the proposal was dismissed.
Hinckley and Bosworth Borough council leader Cllr Stuart Bray has hit out at the decision by Olympic organisers not to include Hinckley and Bosworth on the Olympic Torch route. Cllr Bray is writing to Lord Coe to express his disappointment. Cllr Bray said "Britain hosting the Olympics will provide a once in a generation experience. I am deeply diasppointed therefore that residents of Hinckley and Bosworth will not see the torch without having to travel a significant distance. "Hinckley is the 2nd biggest town in the county and we are located on several key transport routes. In my view it would have from a logical place to bring the torch through and I will be asking Lord Coe to reconsider." Hinckley and Bosworth Borough council will be hosting a series of events related to the Olympics in the run up to the event.
