Volunteers helping in fight against illegal fishing
Anglers are being asked to help to stamp out illegal fishing in Cumbria.
The Environment Agency has just 70 fisheries enforcement officers to cover the whole of England and Wales.
It's now working with the Angling Trust to train anglers to spot anything suspicious.
Dave Lees, from the Trust, says: "My next induction day is in May and I've already had 30 expressions of interest including from Cumbria. We should more than double the numbers of volunteers in the north west area after that."

Hop costs could lead to higher beer prices in Cumbria
A Cumbrian brewer is warning that beer prices may have to rise after a sharp increase in the cost of raw materials.
The Eden Brewery, near Penrith, says the price it's paying for some imported hops has almost doubled since last year.
Its head brewer Jason Hill, says: "It's a crop and we've had a couple of years where we've not had such a good yield, so if you've not had a crop that's performed well and a high demand then it all has an impact on the price point."

Mother supports campaign after son takes own life
A Cumbrian mother, whose son took his own life, says helping people to spot when someone may be suicidal will be "incredibly worthwhile".
The mental health charity, Mind, has raised £14,000 in Cumbria to spend on training for 500 people. It's hoped it will help them to notice when someone is considering taking their own life.
Ben Osbourne died when he was 27. His mother, Kate Bainbridge, who took part in the fund-raising campaign says: "People wouldn't think to ask if someone was thinking of taking their own life. You need to be helpfully nosy and ask people how they are feeling."
Cumbrian college head defends apprenticeships
Both young and old benefit from the apprenticeships being offered in Cumbria, according to the principal of Furness College in Barrow.
But Andrew Wren says: "The vast majority of the employers we work with keep them on as they've invested their money and time into those individuals. They have grown their own employees for the future"

Tribute to man killed in two-car crash
A man who died in a collision involving two cars on the A594 at Dovenby say they are devastated by their loss.
Terence Meddings, 67, from Caldecote Avenue, Cockermouth, died at the scene of the collision on Sunday.
In a statement his family said: "Terry was a much-loved husband, dad and grandad. We have all been left utterly devastated by his loss.
"He was a well-respected and immensely popular member of the local community that he adored. He will be sorely missed by all."
'Inconsiderate' parking can be a serious safety issue
Research suggests that the average motorist spends nearly four days a year looking for a parking space.
The British Parking Association says it has heard many complaints about the location of car parks, the lack of available spaces and inconsiderate parking by others.
Austin Shields, the parking services manager for Cumbria County Council, says: "You get people parking in the middle of a space when they could have moved up to make more space. You get them parking on yellow lines and outside schools and that's often a serious road safety issue."
Frontline doctor tells Prime Minister maternity cuts are 'dangerous'

Cumbrian-brewed beer price could rise
Cumbrian brewers say the cost of some imported hops has almost doubled.
The Campaign For Real Ale (CAMRA) said the increase was down to a rise in demand, a fall in the value of the pound, and poor crop yields for some European hop growers.
CAMRA said the price of beer would rise as a result.
