We need to improve our roads. Pothole funding is at the highest level ever, and we’ve reallocated funding to treble annual local highways and transport funding. We are investing in huge upgrades across our road and rail infrastructure, particularly the A595, A66 and the Cumbria Coast Line. We’re delivering Gigabit broadband to our towns and villages. We’re investing in the Port of Workington, and in local sports facilities.
- Record pothole and road maintenance funding to Cumberland & Westmorland and Furness councils
- £Millions in funding to protect and grow our public transport network, supporting and expanding bus routes
- Cumbria is at the forefront of the Project Gigabit rollout, delivering hyperfast broadband across our villages through 2024
