At the Council meeting on 21 July 2021, Cumberland City Council voted to keep Children’s Services in house.
For over 12 months, USU members from Cumberland Council have been campaigning to keep Childcare Services in house. Council has called for tenders twice, and neither time did they satisfy the requirements.

We thank everyone in the working group, our members, Councillors, and the local community for helping to deliver this great outcome.
