Commenting on the speech by Michael Grade this morning, in which he questioned the future of regional ITV companies such as Border Television, local MP Tim Farron said:
MP Tim Farron has issued a plea to local people to come to the Westmorland Show tomorrow - in bigger numbers than ever!
Tim Farron has asked the Farming minister not to rush in to a nationwide animal movement ban following the outbreak of foot and mouth in Surrey this morning.
Following a meeting with Age Concern South Lakeland this morning, local MP Tim Farron has called on Cumbria County Council to review the introduction of charges for day care on 1 October. The council is introducing the charges after a consultation which many groups have said was botched.
Local MP Tim Farron has reacted to the publication of Network Rail's internal report into the Grayrigg train accident with a renewed call for a public inquiry into the incidents at Grayrigg and at Potters Bar in Hertfordshire. The Network Rail report confirms that the accident was caused by the deterioration of the points at Grayrigg - a deterioration which had not been spotted because of a breakdown in the inspection regime together with issues with engineers getting access to the tracks to inspect them after Virgin's tilting trains were introduced to the West Coast Main Line.
Local MP Tim Farron will this afternoon be taking part in a charity run to raise money for the restoration of the statue in front of the Cartmel Grange Nursing Home in Grange-over-Sands. The statue, affectionately known as 'Albert', commemorates the lives of local soldiers who lost their lives during the First World War.
