Former Allerdale Borough Council website

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.

* Following the introduction of a charge to join or remain on the Register in October 2018, households already on the Register were advised they would have to pay a charge. All households on the Register declined to pay the charge, and were removed from the Register. After a review of the policy, the charge was removed in September 2019 and households were given the opportunity to re-apply to join the Register.

Cumberland Council

On 1 April 2023 local government in Cumbria changed, with Cumberland Council providing all your council services.  

Don't worry though, your bins will be emptied as normal, and you'll still be able to speak to the same team about any enquiries to do with things like council tax, benefits, planning or any other service.

Find out more about the changes.

Keep up to date by finding and following the new council on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
