The executive for the shadow authority for Cumberland Council have confirmed the implementation plan for the new local authority.

From 1 April 2023, the current six district councils and Cumbria County Council will be replaced by two new unitary authorities, Cumberland Council and Westmorland and Furness Council.

Yesterday, the shadow authority for Cumberland Council met for the first time to confirm the implementation plan going forward and the team set-up to deliver it.

As part of the process of reorganisation, councillors also agreed the details of contracts and land disposals that the current district councils and county council can enter into only with the consent of the executive of the shadow authority.

Cllr Mark Fryer, leader of the council, said: ‘Now that the Executive has been established, we are working together to build the foundations for the new Cumberland Council. I’m grateful for the support from my fellow Members and look forward to putting in place the plans for the future.

‘We’re less than 10 months away from establishing the council and we’re grateful for the support of staff and the project team. Together we’ll make it happen.’
