Cumbria is moving toward devolution, creating a mayoral combined authority in 2027 with control over key services and £333 million in funding.
Cumbria is advancing toward devolution after Cumberland Council’s executive committee unanimously approved a Mayoral Combined Authority, with Westmorland & Furness Council expected to follow.
The new authority, set to launch in May 2027, will give local leaders control over transport, housing, economic development, health, public safety, and the environment, unlocking £333 million in government funding over 30 years.
A mayoral election will coincide with local elections in 2027.
Council leaders say the move will boost local decision-making, economic growth, and service delivery, despite concerns about accountability and centralization of power.
