A brand-new year has begun, and we all thought about, or even announced out loud to those closest to us, our good intentions for 2021.
Can you ever remember when you wanted a year to go away quite like 2020? Although a fresh start, we carry over the same issues and turmoil that worries us greatly: The virus, a divided country, economic strife for millions. These are all challenges that we face as a nation and a people.
The great news is that we are a resilient nation and our people have always risen to the occasion, facing obstacles that seemed insurmountable, we pulled off great victories, and we will do so again this year.
2020 has been a year like no other. Here we look back at Cumbria 2020, the highs, lows and the impact of the global pandemic on the county. June was the month when schools began to reopen and the hospitality, retail and tourism sectors were preparing to start trading again. As the number of coronavirus fatalities in the county rose to 158, police were warning holidaymakers to stay away. As temperatures soared to 28 degrees, dozens of penalty notices were issued and hundreds of people told to go home- including a party of 20 on Catbells, 30 people camping at Blea Tarn and reports of ‘females pushing wheelbarrows full of alcohol’ at a South Lakeland tarn. “This is the Lake District, not Glastonbury,” warned Cumbria Police.
