Welcome to Cumberland

All schoolchildren aged up to 16 years old from the Cumberland area will be able to go for a swim in a choice of five indoor pools for only 10p over the May half term (Saturday 25 to Sunday 2 June)

Holtec Britain has announced a shortlist of four sites that have made it through to the final stage of its competition to find a new factory and production site to build a fleet of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), which will be used in the UK, Europe and the Middle East. The inclusion of Kingmoor Park in Carlisle was warmly welcomed by Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership (Cumbria LEP) and Cumberland Council, which jointly developed the Expression of Interest.

As part of the £14.3 million investment from the Government's Levelling Up Fund, Cumberland Council is set to begin road improvements on the A595 New Mill to Gosforth Crossroads.
