Here's our round-up of the second day of local election results. Some results from last night are already on our earlier article here.

We are now up by around 200 council seats and 3 more councils are under Lib Dem majority control.

In Westmorland & Furness we got some brilliant results. It's a new council made up of the areas that were previously South Lakeland, Eden and Barrow & Furness councils. Of those three we held South Lakeland but did not have a single seat in Barrow so taking control there is a huge Lib Dem win. We finished on 36 seats - up from a notional result of 23 seats - on a 65 seat council.

With the first counts in this year's local elections complete it has been a good night for the Lib Dems.

And that goes both nationwide and here in the North West.

On the new council of Cumberland we won four seats - notionally two are holds and two gains.

We gained two seats in Salford, giving us a council group there for the first time in a decade.

This Saturday, local MP Tim Farron will take on the Staveley 18k Lakeland Trail Run to raise money for the Clean River Kent campaign.

The campaign group is formed of residents from Kendal, Burneside and Staveley who want to significantly reduce the amount of sewage discharged into the River Kent by wastewater treatment works and storm overflows.

Local MP Tim Farron has urged the Government to get a grip on the cancer crisis after new figures revealed the "horrific" extent of waiting times in South Cumbria.

New research from the House of Commons Library, commissioned by the Liberal Democrats has shown:

• This winter, from November 2021 to February 2022 almost 1,500 patients in Morecambe Bay waited longer than two weeks to see a consultant after an urgent cancer referral from their GP.
• 1,555 people waited longer than 28 days to get a cancer diagnosis from a specialist after an urgent referral from their GP.
• Furthermore, 114 people, waited a month or more to begin their first treatment after a decision to treat the cancer.
• Even more worryingly 262 are waiting two months or more to start cancer treatment after a referral.
