The first of April 2024 marks one year since Cumberland Council came into being. Showing thick skin and utmost hypocrisy, they posted the statements below on their website while they ignore the dangerous buildings, protect criminals, commit crimes. Is it going to change any time? Please share this page and my website to keep the pressure on!
Cllr Mark Fryer, Leader of Cumberland Council, shares his reflections of the year, saying:
“Council officers and elected Members alike have embraced opportunities to do things differently, to think differently and to get closer to communities and really listen and respond to their local needs.
“At the heart of Cumberland Council's mission is a commitment to enhancing the health and wellbeing of our residents while striving to bring about positive outcomes for local communities.
“It’s been an incredibly busy year and one that I look back on with great pride. Pride in the work we’ve done within our communities and vast pride for our 4,500 employees who have worked tirelessly to continue to work, day in, day out to deliver fantastic services to the people of Cumberland. Despite the changes and challenges they have faced in coming together to work for a brand-new organisation, their dedication and loyalty towards delivery of our public services is exemplary."
Andrew Seekings, Chief Executive of Cumberland Council added:
“One of the highlights for me over the last year has been the development of our Cumberland Council staff culture. In particular, how we’ve used our new values and behaviours to drive forward how we want the council to work. Whether staff had a whole career in one of our legacy organisations or have joined us a new recruit they have each played an instrumental part and contributed to our successes and I want to extend sincere thanks to each and every one of them.
“As I look back at the breadth and range of achievements over the year, I am immensely proud of everything we have achieved. It’s been quite a year!”
