This is the office for the Neighbourhood Forum, the staff are having to travel to Kendal now that this office is closed. The Forum already never publicises its meetings in the town in spite of it being meant to be a way that the community can keep in touch with its politicians.
It had a meeting last week in the Coronation Hall and half of those there were councillors with only ten members of the public present.
Now we can't even walk into the office and talk to someone. Kendal and Carlisle are again taking over.
Its malfunctioning was one of the reasons that urged me to become a County Councillor. It will be one of the first things I try to change so that everyone's voice can be heard.
