In My Opinion - by Andrew Humphries OBE
The third in our series of opinion articles is by Andrew Humphries OBE. Few people have given longer or more important service to Newton Rigg for the benefit of the farming community.

In My Opinion...by Lord Inglewood of Hutton in the Forest
The current Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cumbria Professor Peter McCaffery is faced by a series of decisions which nobody would relish and responsibilities for which he is in no way to be blamed since he has only recently arrived in post. The decline of Newton Rigg is, in my view, one of the Cumbrian tragedies of the last quarter century. It has moved from being at or near 'top of class' to near extinction. Excellence in whatever sphere should always be promoted, and the tragedy is exacerbated by the potential it has to contribute to this area and to the country as a whole.

New solution for treating minor roads in freezing conditions
A fleet of gritters and trucks have been out on Cumbria's minor roads in a massive effort to make hazardous icy roads safer in the current extreme winter conditions. The county council has received many requests from the public during the recent cold spell to provide additional road gritting, however as a result of a national shortage of rock salt it had to announce on Monday that it would be conserving dwindling rock salt stocks by only treating priority one and two routes - those chosen to maintain transport connections for as many communities as possible - with rock salt.
