Copeland Council welcomes local government reorganisation

Published: 21/07/2021

COPELAND Council has welcomed the opportunity to change the way council services are delivered in Cumbria.

In December 2020, four proposals were submitted to Government, from the seven councils in Cumbria, outlining their preferred model for a local government reorganisation.

In February 2021, the Government launched an eight-week consultation on all four of the proposals made by Cumbrian authorities.

Today, (Wednesday) the Government announced that it has chosen to progress the model outlined in a joint submission between Copeland and Allerdale Borough Councils.  

Whitehaven Lass tracked down

Published: 21/07/2021

AN HISTORIC Whitehaven ship’s figurehead, thought to have gone missing, has pride of place in a European art collection.

Back in January 2020, The Beacon Museum shared a 1930s photograph of the piece, from the ship the Whitehaven Lass. The picture was thought to have been taken in the Whitehaven area, but the current whereabouts of the figurehead were unknown.

The social media post was spotted by international figurehead researcher, Richard Hunter, who got in touch with Copeland Borough Council.
