Local MP Tim Farron has called for action to be taken after he uncovered figures which show the number of empty properties in rural areas like South Lakeland has increased by more than one-fifth in the last 5 years. In South Lakeland, the local council estimate that there are over 1,000 empty properties, while it has 5,000 people on its council house waiting list.
Parents in South Lakeland should be allowed to educate their children at home without unnecessary interference from the Government according to local MP Tim Farron.
This year's Remembrance Sunday Service, which I attended at Rochdale and Wardle, were particularly poignant in view of the rising death toll of our troops in Afghanistan. Both services had a large number of local people attending over the last couple of weeks including Steve Cooney, the Royal British Legion, the Air Training Corps (ATC) and Army and Navy Cadets have worked tirelessly to ensure the annual Poppy Appeal is a success. Whatever your views on the war in Afghanistan our brave troops must not be made into a political football.
