The General Election looks like it is going to be an exciting affair nationally as polls have narrowed considerably in recent days - and you can follow all the drama tonight on our website thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk

As well as national breaking stories, we will have reporters and photographers at the local counts to keep you fully informed as events unfold.

We will be at Kendal Leisure Centre, where votes will be counted for the Westmorland and Lonsdale constituency, which is being contested by

Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat), James Airey (Conservative), Eli Aldridge (Labour) and a candidate who calls himself Mr Fish Finger.

We will also be at Barrow Town Hall for the Barrow and Furness count; at Lancaster Town Hall for the Morecambe and Lunesdale result; and at Penrith Leisure Centre, where the Penrith and the Border result will be announced.

There will be a live blog on our website from this morning, where you will be able to follow events minute by minute.

You can also follow us on Twitter @gazettenewsdesk, on Facebook by searching for The Westmorland Gazette and you can get involved in the debate on Twitter using the hashtag #WGelection2017

Next week's Westmorland Gazette will feature comprehensive coverage of the counts with all the results in detail.

And we will be talking to the successful candidates about their priorities for the next few years and to find out how they might fit into the new Government.
