All next week (5-9 October) Cumbria County Council and local NHS partners are hosting a new online event aimed at young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) aged 11+ and their families.

The county council’s 14 household waste and recycling centres (HWRC’s) around the county are all currently open, following their temporary closure during the early stages of the Coronavirus lockdown.

Keeping everyone safe and well during this difficult time is Cumbria County Council’s priority and as such we recognise that Cumbria Libraries offer a vital service to many people and to their local communities.

Confirmed COVID-19 cases have continued to rise across the county according to the latest data published today.

The national NHS Test and Trace App is now available and health leaders in Cumbria are encouraging people to download it to their smartphones now.

Cumbria County Council will move to the next stage of improvement works on Alston’s Front Street from Monday 5 October, for five days.

Cumbria County Council is pleased to announce that Morrisons Carlisle has joined our Fostering Friendly Employer (FFE) scheme during our latest campaign to recruit more foster carers in the city.

Ahead of the public launch of the national NHS Test and Trace app later this week, local businesses are being urged to make sure they are aware of the new legal requirements around collecting customer contact information and have downloaded NHS Track and Trace QR code posters for their premises.
