Copeland Local Committee
I have been enjoying the Conservative Party conference, which is a valuable lobbying and networking opportunity, but because I will always put my constituents before party I have been back in Copeland today attending the Copeland local Committee of Cumbria County Council.
It was a useful and constructive meeting which addressed a number of issues including schools, parking, traffic schemes and health promotion and I will post a fuller report after Conference.

That solution would significantly reduce the problems for people passing through the relevant stretch of road. However, it would be extremely harsh on those who live along it and bought their homes on the assumption that they would be able to park there.
The long-term solution in my opinion is more road capacity. AS I said at the meeting, in the meantime we are stuck with a choice of unsatisfactory solutions.
You mean you would rather sit there and do nothing than have some backbone to resolve the problem.
You would be in a better position to accuse anyone else of backbone deficiency if you had the courage to sign your name.
We will be lobbying to try to get a proper strategic solution. In the meantime we have changed the parking restrictions and will monitor the new ones to see whether it helps.
