Finance Update 29 June 2016

We would like to keep you updated on changes to the Council’s finances caused by a combination of the national Business Rates Retention Scheme and the outcome of the business rates valuation appeal for Sellafield Limited (SL).

In short, there has been an adverse effect on our business rate income but we are planning to use some of our reserves in the short term to support this. There is no impact on jobs and statutory services because of this position. Some non-statutory projects may be put on hold.

Copeland focuses on work and skills

Published: 21/06/2016

COPELAND Council is spearheading a series of projects aimed at boosting the borough's job prospects.

Supported through Copeland Work and Skills Partnership, projects will train advice workers, run courses to help people get into work, fund items like interview clothes or specialist work equipment, and subsidise traineeships.

The Partnership is part of the council's Social Inclusion Programme, and supports one of the organisation's main corporate plan priorities: Employment, Skills and Social Wellbeing.
