Border Carlisle

Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn is in Carlisle today to meet council staff who keep the city clean and who helped clear snow during the recent bad weather.

He will meet expanding local businesses and is set to visit the Durranhill site, which is under construction, and also meet the staff who work there.

The Islington North MP is joined by Colin Glover, Leader of Carlisle City Council and Ruth Alcroft, Labour’s candidate in Carlisle for the next general election.

Hundreds of volunteers have been litter picking around Carlisle.

It's part of the national Great British Spring Clean campaign, to help keep Britain tidy and inspire people to get active and help clean up their neighbourhood.
