Licences - Sunday trading

You can find more information on Sunday trading laws on the gov.uk website

You do not have to inform us if you are to open on a Sunday, and the law regulates the opening hours and not the types of goods on sale.

The Sunday Trading Act 1994 regulates shop opening hours. It does not regulate street markets and car boot sales. These are subject to separate local planning legislation.

Council Strategy design

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.
