Participants are asked to submit their photos through a form, and selected images will be put to a reader vote.

Barrow received £436,994 from the government a year ago to address crime in the Salthouse Road area. Four months after the Safer Streets project's completion, Cumbria police state it's too early for a success assessment, with only anecdotal evidence available. They plan to review specific data six months post-completion. The Safer Streets Fund supports police and local authorities in England and Wales to improve public safety, and a survey indicated a need for better lighting and CCTV. MP Simon Fell expressed support for the initiative, noting its positive community impact.

Barrow Council is considering converting a disused property into four self-contained units for homeless people with complex needs, using the 'Housing First' model from Finland. The council is seeking a contractor for the project, which will be funded by earmarked reserves. Councillor Ann Thomson emphasized the council's commitment to supporting the homeless, while Councillor Ann Burns called for local resident consultation. Alex Smith of Homeless Link praised the Housing First approach, noting its success in Finland and regional pilots in England.
