The Cumbrian seats to watch in June's general election
Martin Lewes
Reporter
Barrow and Furness voters could make a difference in June - Labour's John Woodcock has a majority of 795, which makes it the most marginal seat in the county and a tempting target for the Tories.

In Copeland, the county's newest MP, Trudy Harrison, has the chance to consolidate what remains a technically marginal 2,100 Conservative majority.
Carlisle's Conservative MP, John Stevenson, defends a 2,774 margin from 2015 - still technically marginal.
Labour's Sue Hayman is safe in Workington unless she faces a major swing.
Tim Farron should be safe in the Liberal Democrat stronghold of Westmorland and Lonsdale, although not long ago it was the Tory vote there that was weighed rather than counted.
Conservative Rory Stewart's Penrith and the Border is the safest seat in the North East and Cumbria.
Sue Hayman steps up to defend Workington seat
Sue Hayman, the Labour MP for Workington, has confirmed she'll run to defend the seat in June's general election.
Workington Reds did their promotion chances the world of good yesterday with a 1-0 win away at Nantwich in the Northern Premier league.
The victory means they are in fifth position and on course for a play-off berth.
Manager Dave Hewson praised a team effort and said: "I can't single players out, they've put themselves in a position now where one more win and we're in the play-offs."
More Lottery cash granted to build up walling skills
More money's coming to train a new generation of Cumbrian dry stone wallers.
The Heritage Lottery Fund's announced more than £180,000 for the Dry Stone Walling Association, near Kendal, to pair experts with eight trainees.
It's part of £10m worth of UK funding to address what the fund calls "an ongoing heritage skills shortage".

PM has no mandate to take us out of single market, says Farron
Lib Dem leader, and Westmorland and Lonsdale MP, Tim Farron has been speaking further about the upcoming general election.
He said: "I think across the country, people will want to express their view that Britain, whether we're in or out of the European Union, we want to remain in the single market.
"Theresa May has no mandate to take us out of the single market and for a hard Brexit. It is also the opportunity for the British people to have a decent, strong opposition - something with Labour they now currently do not have."

Economist soothes Cumbrian famers' fears of dairy price fall
BBC Radio Cumbria reporters
An agricultural economist has told BBC Radio Cumbria that fears among dairy farmers in the county of a fall in milk prices should be unfounded.
Some farmers say an increase in production - given an extra push by the annual flush of spring grass - could mean milk prices will fall after a recent recovery.
But Sean Rickard, a specialist in farming markets, says: "Give or take a penny or two per litre, the prices where they are, are likely to pertain for the next year or two, and that's good news for the industry.
"I think you'll have greater stability than you've had for some years."
Walker dies on Gable in busy holiday for rescue teams
A walker died after collapsing near the summit of Great Gable on Easter Sunday.
Rescue volunteers from Wasdale, helped by Duddon and Furness, were called to the scene.
The man's body was flown from the mountain by a Coastguard helicopter from Caenarfon, in an operation hampered by low cloud.
There were a number of other call-outs for rescue teams over the weekend, including a woman with a serious ankle injury near Seathwaite who was carried to the Great North air Ambulance by members of the Keswick operation.
Members of Patterdale and Penrith were called to help a man with a broken ankle on Dowthwaite Head.
Weather on the fell tops: Cold and gin-clear
Temperatures at 3,000 feet: -3C rising to 0C
Winds: Moderate north-easterly becoming variable

A brief burst of snow over the weekend brought the Lake District rangers, who check on conditions on the fell tops, back on to standby. But by the time they were ready to go up Helvellyn, it had all melted.
An increase in milk production is causing Cumbrian farmers to fear the price of milk could fall back again.
The average price paid to farmers as of February this was year just over 27 pence per litre, after several poor years.

This time last year the price was 22 pence per litre as the so-called milk crisis took hold, but many farmers say they're still being paid no more for their milk now than they were getting five years ago.
