- Do not leave home if you or anyone in your household has symptoms.
- There is no longer a legal requirement to wear a face covering however it is encouraged in crowded places.

Yes. Council-run toilets in Workington, Allonby and Maryport will remain open. The council asks all users to follow any covid-secure guidelines. Other toilets in the area are run by town and parish councils.
The council’s car parks remain open with users advised to use the MiPermit mobile-phone app to pay where possible, as this means they do not have to interact with the payment machines. The advantages of using the MiPermit app is that users can pay for extra parking if they find they need to stay longer than originally thought. They can also get a reminder when their parking is due to expire.
Our markets in Cockermouth, Keswick, Workington, Wigton and Silloth are operating.
