Appleby

A restaurant director in Appleby has been left with a court bill of almost £8,000 after a lamb curry meal served at the premises was found to contain beef.

An Appleby man has been ordered to undergo rehabilitation and sign the sex offenders’ register for possessing illegal images showing children being abused.

Community groups are calling for a referendum in Appleby and nearby Kirkby Stephen to change the status of the event and how it is funded.
