This project is funded by Allerdale Borough Council in
association with Northwest Development Agency, Copeland Borough
Council and urban regeneration company West Lakes Renaissance. The
project addresses the issue of low numbers of business start up and
activity in West Cumbria. It is hoped the scheme will increase
employment opportunities.
