Kirkby Stephen

Locals say work to repair eight bridges in Lune Gorge, Cumbria, will leave them worse off.

The garden in Kirkby Stephen is dedicated to Joan Johnstone, who was a town councillor for 30 years.

Eden volunteers plant 8,000 wildflower plugs and sow wildflower seed to encourage pollinators.

The work will help preserved the viaduct for future generations, the trust that looks after it says.

The refurbishment of Kirkby Stephen's memorial gardens is set to take five weeks.

Penrith and Eden Museum may buy the Tudor and Stuart-era coins which were found in October 2023.

The local authority says it is committed to building the playpark but will do so at a later date.

The 20-piece collection, found by a metal detectorist, dates back to the 10th Century, a court heard.
