The new edition of Carlisle Focus residents' magazine is now available.

The summer-autumn edition gives an update on how the 2015 floods affected our services and provides information on the Property Resilience grants available to flood-affected households and businesses. Please take the opportunity to find out more about the scheme, as grants of up to £5,000 are available.

We need your support to keep Carlisle clean and our Neat Streets initiative has proved to be a success. If you’d like to report problem areas, or have any information that will help us to target our dog fouling patrols or prosecute those who fly tip or litter, please contact us.

There are lots of ways to get active this summer and we also have a packed programme of events planned, including the return of the Tour of Britain, open-air theatre events and The Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations.
