There are plenty of plants available now for sale at St Mark’s Church at a variety of very reasonable prices. Be garden ready with colourful plants for the summer. The perennial plants should really prove to be perennial, having survived a cold, wet winter round here.

Ideas Wanted to Solve Parking Problems in Natland

Our MP, Tim Farron suggests in a letter to the Chair of our Parish Council, that now might be a good time to approach the new Westmorland and Furness Council with ideas for solutions to our parking problems. 

Tim writes:

Could I … ask whether the Parish Council have ideas upon reducing the safety risk for the school bus and for emergency vehicles which I could present to the re-constituted Highways Team for Westmorland and Furness.

So, Ian is asking for your ideas, please.
