There are two pilot Community Hubs:

Future plans and resident feedback
As the hub develops over the coming months, the range of services is expected to grow.
We’re keen to hear from you about how the hubs should evolve and what additional services
should be offered.
Your feedback will help shape the council’s long-term goal of rolling out similar hubs across
the entire Cumberland area.
