POLICE have appealed for information concerning the whereabouts of a missing Barrow woman.

53-year-old Amanda Jones has been missing from Barrow since Thursday, July 9.

Ms Jones is described as being about 5ft 4in tall, of slim build, with a fair complexion and shoulder-length dyed ginger hair.

She has been recently seen in the Blackpool area - and it is thought she may currently be between the Lancashire seaside town and Barrow.

Officers are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare and would urge anyone who has seen Amanda or had contact with her to contact Cumbria Police on 101.

If Ms Jones sees this appeal herself, she is asked to contact officers.
