Key plans and strategies

These plans and documents underpin our core council value to be ‘ecologically aware’.

They outline the direction and intention of the council to address climate change and biodiversity loss, provide leadership in the drive to become carbon net zero, and create a greener, healthier, more resilient Westmorland and Furness.

Read about what action we’re taking, and committing to take, to redress damage and protect our environment for the long-term, and how we’re working collaboratively with our residents, communities, businesses and partners to develop, deliver and support meaningful initiatives and projects.
