There's only a few days left for people to take part in the public consultation on significant cuts to the budget at Cumbria County Council.

Leaders says they're aware people have been dealing with the aftermath of the floods; but that they now have to look forward too.

The axe is set to fall on a number of key services - including fire coverage; adult care; and support for the elderly or disabled.

Cabinet Member for Finance Cllr Patricia Bell said: "All of these proposed changes will affect the people who work for us and the communities we serve. So please get involved with this year's consultation and tell us what you think before the consultation closes.
 
"Finally please rest assured that in putting together the budget for next year we are taking account of the impact of the floods on 'everyday' business of the council. Your elected members and officers are working tirelessly with partners and the government to secure the maximum amount of funding possible to help fund the required repairs caused by the floods."
