Work continues to save Sedbergh's Auction Mart

May 9, 2006 2:51 PM

Local MP Tim Farron is continuing to work to save Sedbergh's Auction Mart. The Mart, which held its final sale at the end of April, now faces an uncertain future.

This week, Tim Farron is setting up a meeting between the Mart's owners, CCM, and the embryonic farmer's co-operative group who hope to take over the running of the Mart. The meeting's purpose will be to give the co-operative a chance to talk to CCM about the possible take over.

Tim Farron says: "After such a positive response from the local community to the setting up of a co-operative, I very much hope that the meeting with CCM will provide a way forwards, allowing the Mart to transfer into the co-operative's hands. However, the success of this project will very much depend on the good-will and commitment to this rural community of CCM."

    If you are a resident of the Westmorland and Lonsdale constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
