A MISSING man has not been heard from in nearly a week. 

Cumbria Police has launched an appeal and urged the public to dial 999 if he is spotted. 

55-year-old Nigel Redshaw, from Cheshire, was last seen in Lancaster by friends on April 15, according to Cumbria Police. However, it is believed he has since travelled to the South Lakes, and he was last heard from via a phone conversation with his friends on April 18. 

He is described as white and around 6ft 1ins tall. He has a big beard and dreadlocks down to his waist. He was last seen wearing a blue waterproof coat and Manchester City hoodie.

He is known to be fond of the Grange area and is a keen walker, the force say.

Officers are concerned for Nigel’s welfare and are keen for anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts to get in touch.
