Welcome to Cumberland

Cumberland Council will shortly resume essential slope repair works along the B5289 near Ashness Bridge, Keswick, as part of ongoing efforts to protect the natural beauty of Derwent Water and ensure the long‑term safety of this key route.

Cumberland Council’s Ceremonies Team has been nominated as part of prestigious regional awards which highlight excellence in the wedding industry.

Cumberland Council is launching a new grants scheme to help transform King Street in Whitehaven. Empty and dilapidated premises that cause an eyesore for the town centre have been identified as a key issue to tackle. The new Building Improvement Grants will support bringing vacant units back into use and improve the appearance of occupied properties.
