“As a council we have to listen to the views of people in South Lakeland and I am looking forward to hearing about the issues that matter to them,” said Coun Thornton. “There is no better way of communicating with people than face-to-face. If people want to come and see us there is no need to make an appointment.
“Lawrence and I are keen to hear any suggestions or ideas that people may have and we will endeavour to answer people’s questions on the day.”
The surgeries will be held across the district as follows:
Friday Aug 8: Ulverston Coronation Hall, 12-2pm; Monday Aug 11: Windermere Bus Station, 12-2pm; Tuesday Aug 12: Kendal Birdcage, 12-2pm; Thursday Aug 14: Kirkby Lonsdale, Market Square, 12-2pm.
