Labour leaders in Cumbria push for devolution under a mayor to enhance local control and regeneration.

Labour leaders in Cumbria are advocating for devolution, which would give the region more control over transport, employment, planning, and housing. They propose a combined authority under a directly elected mayor, keeping Cumberland and Westmorland & Furness as separate councils. This model, already adopted in areas like Greater Manchester, aims to boost local services and drive regeneration projects.
