TOP STORY: Council Cabinet approves five year Strategic Asset Management Strategy
Westmorland and Furness Council’s ‘Strategic Asset Management Strategy 2024-2029’ was approved by cabinet on 4 June.
It sets out how the council will manage and maintain council owned land and buildings over the next five years.
The strategy was developed by the Council’s Corporate Assets Team with the assistance of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) in line with best practice.
Some of these buildings and land will be essential for delivering effective and vital services to communities and service users in the future. Others are no longer fit for purpose, possibly being in the wrong place, not suitable for modern approaches to working and/or service delivery.
