- **Who May Use the Framework:** In February 2025 Government confirmed that Cumbria is in its priority programme of areas for devolution. The programme will support the areas to move towards devolution, becoming mayor-led strategic authorities by May 2026 if they proceed. Cumberland and Westmorland and Furness Councils were invited to join the Devolution Priority Programme.
It is proposed that a Mayoral Combined Authority (MCA) is established over the local authority areas of Cumberland and Westmorland and Furness Councils. The Government's proposal is that the Combined Authority would be formally known as 'Cumbria Combined Authority'
The Government's consultation on Devolution in Cumbria closed in April 2025.  We are awaiting the Government's decision as to whether to take forward proposals for a MCA in Cumbria.  
If the proposal is taken forward and the 'Cumbria Combined Authority' is established,  this Framework may be used by both Cumberland Council and the Combined Authority during the duration of the Framework.
