The Commissioner recently hosted a public surgery in Keswick, and it was fantastic to see so many local residents come along, not only for the surgery itself but also for the Community Partnership meeting afterwards.
It was clear how much people care about their community, and it was a privilege to be part of those conversations. Residents raised a number of important issues, including speeding, fly-camping and littering, all of which the Commissioner will continue to work on with local partners and authorities.
Thank you to everyone who attended. The Commissioner’s surgeries are an invaluable opportunity to hear directly from local people, and we appreciate everyone who takes the time to share their views and concerns.
The next surgery is at Evergreen Club, Kirkby Stephen on Thursday 17th September, starting at 4.15pm until 5.15pm.
