News and Updates
26/12/2024 - We made the front page of The Westmorland Gazette!
We made the front cover and page 2. The article is written by Dan Hunt, The Westmorland Gazette's Local Democracy Reporter.
The story has quotes from many of our supporters and details that our objection is not to a mast, just the location next to the Lone Tree.
It also details how the Lone Tree is equivalent to and as loved as the Sycamore Gap Tree.
Please go out and buy a copy, The Westmorland Gazette is equally an essential part of our community.... remember the words of Joni Mitchell, "You don't know what you've got 'til its gone".
What a great way to end the year for us, thank you for all the support, we'll keep an eye on news and updates as we go into 2025.
