MP calls for all weather pitch at Hallgarth

Following his recent advice surgery at Hallgarth Community Centre, local MP Tim Farron has asked the Council for improvements to be made to the all weather surface on part of the playing field at the rear of Low Garth. Local residents hope that this would offer young people a facility that can be used in all weathers. A hard surface already covers some of this area but after heavy rain the site becomes muddy and boggy and unusable for sporting activities. Tim has also spoken with younger people at Hallgarth, and they agreed that a better all weather surface is needed.

This will ultimately mean that the land will become of little monetary value to those that own grazing rights.

Local MP Tim Farron is leading national calls for an independent review into the new computer system for the NHS, Connecting for Health (CfH), which according to recent reports is now projected to cost £15 billion. Such a sum could wipe out the current deficits in NHS trusts approximately 15 times over, including those of the local Morecambe Bay health trusts.
