WESTMORLAND and Lonsdale MP Tim Farron is asking local businesses to write to the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy asking them to back his calls for greater investment in infrastructure in the South Lakes.
Last month, Mr Farron met business minister Andrew Griffiths, where he presented his ‘manifesto for the Lakes’ – which included calls for upgrades to the Lakes Line, better broadband access and further investment into strategic roads across the Lake District.
