Day to day: Jordans work A photographer living with a rare form of muscular dystrophy has been shortlisted for a new exhibition showcasing art students work. Jordan Mossom, who is from Maryport, hopes his work can help raise awareness of muscular dystrophy and what it is like to live with the condition. The Waterside Arts ‘First Light’ photography exhibition showcases work from recent photography graduates from 13 northern universities. And 24-year-old Jordan, a University of Cumbria graduate who lives with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, said he wanted to show others with the condition what the possibilities were if they acted on their passions.

In celebration of English Tourism Week, Carlisle MP John Stevenson met with representatives from the hospitality industry at Carlisle Cathedral.
Mr Stevenson said: “Whilst it’s undoubtedly been a difficult 14 months for the sector, it was great to see such positivity and determination for the future.
“It is evident that working collaboratively is key to putting Carlisle firmly on the map.
“I will continue to listen to businesses about the challenges they face in reopening to visitors and in planning for the future ahead and I will continue to represent their views and champion the sector in Westminster.”
