WESTMORLAND and Lonsdale MP Tim Farron wants to know why television signals in the Kendal area keep faltering.

A spokesman for ITV has said that a technical difficulty on a transmitter in Kendal had been fixed – but the Lib Dem MP says he has continued to receive complaints from residents.

Mr Farron says the lack of an statement shows how rural areas are being neglected by BT and television bosses.

“No explanation has been given and it backs up the general outlook of the broadcasting authorities that rural areas just aren’t important.

"It almost links into the broadband issue,” he said.
