Comments
Afraid I don't have any contact details for the Michael Eyles who stood as a Lib/Dem candidate in Penrith West in 2009 but if Alan Eyles should be reading this I suggest you contact "Penrith and the Border Liberal Democrats."
Please note that there was a boundary review between the 2009 and 2013 Cumbria County Council elections and most of the divisions have changed at least slightly, though some much more than others. At the time of posting this additional comment - July 2016 - Cumbria Conservatives are about three quarters of the way through selecting the candidates to context these seats in 2017. If anyone is interested in taking part in that election please contact me - if you want to be a Conservative council candidate please do so at your earliest convenience as possible as the remaining seats will be filled very soon.
