  5. Covid: Health boss advises people to think twice before travelpublished at 16:19 BST 14 June 2021

    People living in Cumbria have been urged to consider whether they need to take trips out of the county.

    The message comes as cases of the Delta variant continue to rise and a further delay in the easing of lockdown restrictions planned for 21 June is expected to be announced later.

    Many scientists have called for a delay to enable more people to be vaccinated and receive second doses.

    It would also allow more work to be done on whether vaccines are breaking, or simply weakening, the link between infections and hospitalisations.

    Cumbria's Director of Public Health, Colin Cox (pictured below) says people should think twice before travelling to major cities for recreational trips.

    He said: "Do think very hard about whether you need to do these things, obviously if you go to school or college that's one thing, but if you're just taking trips out of Cumbria and into more congested areas for the sake of recreation, then do please think very hard about whether you need to do that."

  7. Covid: Carnegie Theatre looks outside venue for audiencepublished at 12:57 BST 14 June 2021

    The people running one of Cumbria's theatres are looking to what they could do without using the auditorium, as government sources tell the BBC most coronavirus rules will remain in place in England for another four weeks after the planned 21 June unlocking.

    It would mean mean capacity limits for sports, pubs, theatres and cinemas will remain, and nightclubs would stay closed.

    The Carnegie Theatre and Arts Centre in Workington has opened to activity clubs, but says it has not been financially viable to bring back the theatre.

    Chairman Lee Martin-White said: "We need to know where our funding is going to come from for the next 5-10 years.

    "We're also looking at what else we can do that doesn't involve the building, in terms of community engagement and getting back in touch with our audience."

  13. West Cumbria site to be assessed in suitability for new power plantpublished at 16:03 BST 11 June 2021

    A site in West Cumbria will be assessed along with 14 others to see if it is suitable to be home to a new nuclear power station.

    Moorside near Sellafield is in the running to house the UK's first prototype nuclear fusion power plant, capable of generating hundreds of megawatts of net electrical energy.

    A final shortlist will be produced in the autumn, and the Business Secretary will make a final decision on the site by the end of 2022.

    Cumbria County Council leader Stewart Young said: “If our bid is successful at this next stage, it will bring huge investment to Cumbria and put us on a world stage in demonstrating how we can generate clean energy from nuclear.”
