We have seen an increase in visitor to #Cumbria and #LakeDistrict this weekend. Please follow advice and #StayHomeSaveLives we ALL need to do our bit to protect others.
During the coronavirus pandemic, people should avoid travelling unless it is essential. This means you should avoid visiting holiday or second homes.

#COVID19
ALT Graphic: Essential travel does not include visits to second homes, camp sites, caravan parks or similar, whether for isolation purposes or holidays. People should remain in their primary residence. Not to do so puts additional pressure on communities and services that are already at risk.

If you do get a chance please visit your local cafe / bar / restaurant / shop. They really need you now & we risk them disappearing rapidly if we don’t support them. They also will need government support if we are to maintain them. bbc.co.uk/news/business-5188…

Sad news for a long standing trading name and a definite loss for Kendal and all other locations
Adminstrators to #Beales say they've had no "deliverable offers" for the business so far. That means preparations begin to shut the remaining 11 stores. Shops likely to trade for further 8 weeks, approx, as closing down sales get underway.
Good news for @SouthLakelandDC . Care needed to ensure that such investment in Kendal does not impact negatively on other South Lakes high street environments #ambleside #grasmere #windermere #bowness #ulverston

Always seems strange hearing your own voice on the radio, even more so when it’s telling your own life story. Thanks @carolinerbrtsn @BBC_Cumbria for making the experience a pleasant one, what will tomorrows 10 minutes bring? #windermere #lakedistrict #lifestory
