Published: 17/03/2020

Copeland residents are being reminded that, as part of the council’s resilience planning around coronavirus, garden waste collections are suspended

A spokesperson said: “In common with all organisations, we do not know how our staffing levels will be affected in coming weeks, and we will be prioritising the delivery of statutory services.”

Waste dumped near Household Waste Recycling Centre

Published: 05/03/2020

WASTE has been dumped less than 2.5 miles away from a Household Waste Recycling Centre.

Items including household waste, wood and metal were fly-tipped at the entrance to Eskett Quarry, Frizington.

The items will be removed by Copeland Council at a cost to the taxpayer.
