MP calls for all weather pitch at Hallgarth

Following his recent advice surgery at Hallgarth Community Centre, local MP Tim Farron has asked the Council for improvements to be made to the all weather surface on part of the playing field at the rear of Low Garth. Local residents hope that this would offer young people a facility that can be used in all weathers. A hard surface already covers some of this area but after heavy rain the site becomes muddy and boggy and unusable for sporting activities. Tim has also spoken with younger people at Hallgarth, and they agreed that a better all weather surface is needed.

MP takes up the fight for commoners

The Commons Bill is currently progressing through Parliament, but one particular section has caused great alarm to commoners with grazing rights. On leaving the House of Lords, a clause was included in the Bill which states that those who have grazing rights and wish to sell them can only do so if sold back to the land owner. This will ultimately mean that the land will become of little monetary value to those that own grazing rights.

Government money should go towards a better NHS, not a new computer system - Farron

Local MP Tim Farron is leading national calls for an independent review into the new computer system for the NHS, Connecting for Health (CfH), which according to recent reports is now projected to cost £15 billion. Such a sum could wipe out the current deficits in NHS trusts approximately 15 times over, including those of the local Morecambe Bay health trusts.
