Cumbrian MP raises concerns after proposals to ban small boats from smaller lakes
A CUMBRIAN MP has raised concerns around new bylaws proposed by the national park authority around the banning of small boats on smaller lakes in the Lake District. Markus Campbell-Savours, MP for Penrith and Solway, has said he is concerned that a new byelaw being proposed by the Lake District National Park Authority could see fishermen who use small powerboats banned from some of the smaller lakes. Markus Campbell-Savours said: 'I think this proposed byelaw is a mistake with the potential to unfairly hit fishermen, many of whom have been responsibly fishing the lakes and rivers of Cumbria for generations. 'I want members of the LDNPA to meet me at Bassenthwaite so they can see that any fears about noise, safety, or the environment, in relation to small Lakeland fishing boats with electric motors are misguided. This proposed byelaw will unfairly impact people who the national park should value as an important partner. 'It was in fact the late Bob Smeaton and other fishermen who alerted Dale Campbell-Savours MP to the perilous state of Bassenthwaite in the 1990s, which ultimately secured the upgrade of the sewage treatment works at the east end of the lake. 'I say to the national park authority - far from being a problem, fishermen are our eyes and ears – or as one Keswick fisherman put it to me – 'we are your canaries in the coalmine.'' Concerns have previously been raised around the new by laws by anglers who believe the proposed by laws are 'discriminatory'. The Lake District National Park Authority have previously said that the 'informal consultation' is the first step in 'a lengthy process' to amend the Small Lakes Byelaws.

Cumbria church to raise £500,000 to restore historic stained-glass windows
A CUMBRIAN church is to raise £500,000 in order to restore and repair its historic glass windows. A recent survey found that many of the windows at St Mary's Church in Wigton were in need of repair. The church has a number of historic stained-glass windows including three locally-designed windows donated by Wigton-raised broadcaster Melvyn Bragg and a 1926 William Morris window.

In order to raise more awareness and money the church is holding a series of free events of the weekend of June 6, 7 and 8. The clear glass windows are most in need of repair (Image: Supplied) On Friday, June 6, BBC antiques expert Paul Laidlaw will be valuing antiques and collectors' items, including jewellery, watches, militaria, and any antiques. There will also be an organ recital by David T Shingler on Friday, June 6. On Saturday, June 7, there will be a performance by the Border Concert Band and Sunday, June 8, at 3.30pm, there will be a Songs of Praise session hosted by two members of the Salvation Army. The fundraising weekend will end with a quiz night hosted by comedian and musician, Tom Elliott. St Mary's Wigton is run by the Reverend Richard Corrie who said that the fundraising effort was harbouring 'community spirit' in the town. Reverend Richard Corrie (Image: Supplied) 'Church buildings take a lot of upkeep,' said Rev'd Richard. 'A lot of fundraising is needed to keep church buildings going these days, so it is hard work. 'The church here at Wigton is at the heart of the town and the community is pulling together to help.

'We're specifically putting these events on as most of them are 'non-churchy' because we want all the community to be involved, as the church building gets used by community groups and the schools all the time.' St Mary's will continue to raise money throughout the next year and donations can be made online.
