Elections' season

Candidates named

So the first of our election candidates have been named.

May 7th will give Copeland residents the chance to elect their MP, Jamie Reed is the current post holder and will stand again for Labour.  Up against him are Danny Gallagher (Lib Dem), Stephen Haraldsen (Conservative) and Allan Todd (Green Party).  UKIP are intending to put someone forward for the election, but no names yet.

Local News

Apparently, Whitehaven is one of the safest places to live in the UK.  If you're in the CA28 postcode you are far less likely to be a victim of crime than most of the rest of the nation.  That said, we're not totally free of anti social behaviour, but you can do your bit by reporting anything you see.

And think yourselves lucky you didn't see Chris Boxhall in 'Bubbles' Nightclub last week. (The less said the better I reckon).

Speaking of safety, there's a lot of talk about keeping safe while texting, not giving away personal information, sending pictures of yourself with no clothes on and the like.  But it's also worth remembering that any message can be dangerous if you forget to check who you're sending the message to...


Seriously though, stay safe.
