Welcome to Cumberland

Supporting the health and wellbeing of local residents and providing better access to innovative and inclusive activities is at the heart of a new leisure operator contract announced today (Friday 9 January 2026).

The next phase of the Start With The Park project is set to take off, as Cumberland Council announces that construction of the brand new skatepark at Hammond’s Pond will begin next week (w/c 12 January).

Cumberland Council is proud to celebrate Jane Wheeler, Assistant Director for Family Help, Partnerships and Youth Justice, who has been awarded an MBE in the King’s New Year Honours List for her outstanding services to children and families.
