Copeland Council launches budget consultation

Published: 13/11/2020

COPELAND Council has launched a consultation into next year’s budget – and wants the public’s views.

The council must save funds in 2021/22, due largely to the reduction in Central Government grants and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, and is prioritising the delivery of its statutory commitments while increasingly using income and grants to run its discretionary services.

New councils

The current structure of councils in Cumbria is changing. The seven established Cumbrian authorities will transition to two new unitary authorities on April 1, 2023.

The new unitaries will provide council services for their areas. Currently services are split between districts and a county council.

The areas of Allerdale, Carlisle and Copeland will be serviced by Cumberland Council, with Barrow, Eden and South Lakeland coming under Westmorland and Furness Council.
