A bus company in the Lake District had to temporarily suspend one of its services for a time after the route was blocked by traffic and parked cars.

Stagecoach said the 77 and 77A were unable to travel to Catbells due to "inconsiderate parking and heavy congestion" on Monday afternoon.

The route, which runs from Keswick to Honister Pass, returned to operation at about 16:30.

Catbells is a popular walking route but there have been complaints about lack of parking in the area.

Mountain rescue volunteers have also voiced concern in the past that parked cars could prevent them being unable to respond to emergencies.

The keys to a new cancer centre at Carlisle's Cumberland Infirmary have been handed over, meaning it won't be long before patients can receive treatment there.

It is due to open by July offering radiotherapy and a chemotherapy day unit.

Phil Powell, manager for cancer services and clinical haematology at Newcastle Hospitals, which will be jointly running the service, said: “We are sure the environment will be a calming and reassuring place for our patients to receive treatment."
