ORGANISATIONS across Cumbria are being invited to apply for up to £2,500 in funding to support projects to help tackle substance misuse. The funding is available through Police and Crime Commissioner Peter McCall s property fund, which sees money confiscated from criminals and placed back into communities to help reduce crime. Mr McCall said: I am really keen to support projects all across Cumbria that help support those who are battling their substance misuse as well as projects that aim to prevent vulnerable young people either developing an addiction or becoming involved in the distribution of drugs. “Drugs-related crime is a national issue and I believe that, as a community, we can work together to tackle this issue locally.
CUMBRIA Constabulary has urged people to fully understand the law before buying or riding an electric scooter following a ‘surge of anti-social behaviour’ involving the vehicles. E-scooters are illegal to use on roads, footpaths, cycle tracks/lanes, bridleways, or byways and privately owned scooters can only be ridden legally on private land with the owner s consent. E-scooters have become increasingly popular after the Government permitted rental scheme trials in several UK cities including Birmingham last year. However, while the use of rental e-scooters is now legal in some parts of the UK, the force has reminded people that it remains against the law to ride a privately owned e-scooter in any public place in the UK.

The man believed to be in his twenties was wearing just a beanie hat at the time. It was reported on last Thursday to the police after the beanie wearing man trawled the street naked near Alfred Street, Carlisle, exposing his genitals and looking into people s windows. One shocked resident who didn’t want to be named is warning others to be careful and thinks that he was trying to scare people. At first she had thought if was a ghost but now wants women to be cautious and make sure they lock their doors and windows. Councillor Louise Atkinson was shocked that something like this has happened. “ I really want to urge people to report this kind of thing and make sure the police are aware, she said.
