The review has been created as a response to a petition received by Allerdale Borough Council from the residents to Flimby to conduct a Community Governance Review proposing the creation of Flimby Parish Council. 

Residents and stakeholders of Flimby and Maryport can contribute to this review by engaging with public consultations. 

The first consultation will run from 7 November 2022 to 24 December 2022. Following this consultation draft recommendations are published for further consultation.

If Cumberland Council make the decision to proceed with the creation of the Flimby Parish Council, elections to the Council will be held in May 2024.
