Westmorland and Furness Council is celebrating being shortlisted for not one, but three national awards at this year’s prestigious Local Government Chronicle (LGC) Awards.
A programme of decarbonisation and energy saving improvement works are due to begin at leisure centres in Penrith and Appleby, totalling £1 million in investments.
Active Travel England has awarded Westmorland and Furness Council ring-fenced funding to support the development of new schemes that will encourage people to choose walking, wheeling or cycling for everyday journeys.
