IT is a massive honour to have been chosen to represent our area in parliament. I want to say a huge thank you to everyone for giving me the chance to continue to stand up for our community.

We live in the most beautiful place in Britain, but we face real challenges - on health, schools and making sure that local families have a decent, affordable place to live.

No matter who you voted for last Thursday, I'm proud to be your MP. I will continue to be Westmorland's man in Westminster, never Westminster's man in Westmorland.

If I can help with any problem or concern, please get in touch at tim@timfarron.co.uk or on 01539 723403, or drop in to my office in Stricklandgate - or just stop me when you see me out and about.

Once again, thanks so much to all of you - but special thanks to my wife Rosie and our children who have had to put up with a pretty testing few weeks!
