Local residents are being invited to help a Cumbrian council’s highways team improve its services by taking part in a survey. Cumberland Council has launched the survey so people can share their views on its highways and transport services.

The survey gives people the chance to share their experiences and priorities, helping the council understand what is working well and where improvements are needed. From road conditions and street lighting to bus accessibility and cycle lanes, the feedback will inform decisions on how services are delivered and developed in the future.

Councillor Denise Rollo, executive member for sustainable, resilient and connected places, said:

“Cumberland Council is committed to listening to residents and using their feedback to shape services, make informed decisions, and ensure we meet local needs and priorities. This survey is an important way for us to hear directly from the people who live, work, and visit Cumberland, and to make sure our highways and transport networks are safe, sustainable, and accessible for everyone.”

The results of the survey will provide one of several measures the council uses to assess its performance and set priorities. It also supports the council’s wider commitment to sustainability, including plans to improve walking and cycling routes in line with the Government’s target for half of all journeys to be walked, cycled or wheeled by 2030.
