flag Cumbria’s emergency services may be at risk by 2028 if the 2027 mayoral reform plan isn’t completed, warns Police and Fire Commissioner David Allen.

flag Cumbria’s Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner David Allen warns that the county’s emergency services could be at risk by 2028 if plans to replace his role with a mayoral system are not completed. flag Under government reforms, the PFCC position will be abolished, with powers transferred to a new Mayor of Cumbria and a deputy for police and fire, elected in 2027. flag Allen stresses that devolution through this mayoral authority is essential to maintaining independent services and avoiding potential mergers with neighboring regions like Lancashire or Northumberland, which could reduce local resources and decision-making control.
