Westmorland and Furness Council

About Westmorland and Furness Council

Westmorland and Furness Council is a brand-new council. This provides a huge opportunity to create a fresh vision for our communities and residents, and work with you to deliver on that vision. We are an ambitious council, and we will place people at the centre of everything we do as we look to deliver the best possible outcomes. We are ambitious for our communities too and will work to enable all our villages and towns to thrive; and for our residents to lead healthy, happy lives. Our natural environment provides opportunities for improving health and wellbeing and we will work hard to maximise those opportunities and to ensure that we protect our natural resources, striving to become carbon net zero and addressing biodiversity loss. Most importantly we are committed to working to ensure that Westmorland and Furness is a great place to live, work and thrive.
