The County Council have launched a new public-facing website which provides a wealth of information on Local Government Reorganisation in Cumbria, such as information on the background to LGR as well as the overall aims and ambitions of the changes. There is also a timeline of events, and a glossary to help residents, businesses and our partners understand the process as well as some of the terminology.
