This is the old website for the former Allerdale Borough Council which became Cumberland Council on 1 April 2023. We are currently in the process of moving content from this website to the Cumberland Council website so that it is all in one place. You may therefore notice that old pages you are used to using on this site, are being redirected to the Cumberland Council site. This former Allerdale Borough Council website will be switched off from 1 April 2025.
We promote good practices when it comes to handling and storage of food overseeing the vast array of food businesses in our area - from pubs, hotel and B&Bs to schools, hospitals and cafes.
