Economic regeneration

A Cumbria Business Expo 2023, held at Carlisle Racecourse today, has been hailed a success by the event sponsor Cumberland Council.

The first phase of the transformation of Maryport’s historic Carlton Cinema building is about to begin.

Work is about to start on Maryport’s new Boardwalk which will link two key destinations in the town.

Cumberland Council is delighted to announce a £10 million investment boost for Workington’s transport, culture and regeneration.

Businesses and homeowners in Aspatria now have until Friday 18 August to apply for Cumberland Council’s Town Centre Facelift Grant Scheme.

The public are being asked for their views on the colour of a new Boardwalk which will improve accessibility at one of Maryport’s seaside locations.

Hundreds of members of the public have helped inspire new investment plans for Maryport.

Cumberland Council teams recently visited Carlisle Youth Zone to get feedback from their senior group of members about Carlisle. Consultation events for the proposed plans for Devonshire Street and English Street in Carlisle have been ongoing since early June.

Local communities in Cumberland Council area will see £1m worth of investment thanks to spending plans agreed by the council’s Executive committee.

Works will get underway this autumn to improve access across the top of the small beach within Maryport Harbour.
