In September 2019, Millom became one of 101 places invited to work with the Government to propose a Town Deal with up to £25million in funds available from the wider £3.6bn Towns Fund.

Working alongside Copeland Borough Council, the Millom Town Deal Board secured £20.6 million in November 2022 for projects it identified as local priorities, along with £8.7 million in match funding.

Alongside the new Cumberland Council work is now underway to deliver our four exciting projects. Change will not happen overnight. But the Town Deal team is working hard with a variety of stakeholders to make sure every element of the plan is delivered.
