Residents will soon be getting their council tax bill for 2023/24. This will come from Cumberland Council who will be providing all council services from 1 April 2023. Find out more about the bill, including the help and support that is available for those on low incomes, on the Cumberland Council website.

Council Strategy design

Cumberland Council

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

On day one, most things won't change - 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.

Keep up to date by finding and following the new council on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Sign-up to receive updates straight to your email inbox.
