Police finding ‘more and more' laughing gas canisters in Carlisle
POLICE in Carlisle have seen 'more and more' laughing gas canisters by the side of the road in the city. In November last year the law was changed for nitrous oxide - laughing gas - further classifying it as a Class C drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 if it is or likely to be wrongfully inhaled. Inhaling nitrous oxide while driving will impair a person's reaction times, judgement and coordination, according to police and it also can have dangerous and sometimes fatal health complications.

Parade commemorates 280 years since Battle of Fontenoy
A parade in Carlisle has commemorated 280 years since the Battle of Fontenoy. The parade, which was attended by members of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, the Army Cadets, and local veterans, took place in Carlisle on Sunday, May 11, and saw participants march from Carlisle Castle to Carlisle Cathedral, where a service took place. The parade commemorated the involvement of the 34th Regiment of Foot in the Battle of Fontenoy that took place on the 11th of May 1745. The 34th Regiment of Foot would eventually become the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment. The battle, which took place nearly three centuries ago, took place on May 11, 1745, during the War of the Austrian Succession and saw a French army of 50,000 under Marshal Saxe defeat a force led by the Duke of Cumberland. Writing on social media, Carlisle Police, who oversaw the parade, said: "Today Carlisle's Neighbourhood Policing Team were in the city centre to assist with the Fontenoy Parade. "The parade was well attended by members of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, the Army Cadets, local veterans, and members of the public taking part in the march from the castle for a service at the cathedral. "Thank you to everyone who attended, and we hope you enjoyed the warm weather."
