Spot the robotic dog is taking centre stage at Cumberland Council’s @UKREiiF stand from today (Tuesday, 21 May).

It has become a regular feature at @SellafieldLtd and a great mascot for the range of robotic tools and innovations that are transforming the way we work.

It’s travelled with Cumberland Council to UKREiiF hosted in Leeds and you can meet it on their stand - H40 - situated in the Royal Armouries Hall.

Maryport’s new Boardwalk, which links two key destinations in the town, is now officially open to the public.

Dozens of people braved wind and rain to mark the occasion, with Councillor Carni McCarron-Holmes, Chair of Cumberland Council, cutting the ribbon today (Monday 5 February). The new stretch of accessible pathway joins the town’s promenade and harbourside, crossing the sandy area known locally as La’al Harbour.

The Boardwalk is part of the transformation of Maryport’s public realm using money from the Government’s Future High Streets Fund.

Cowran Estates Services Ltd, based in Ulverston, was the main contractor and used the skills of local subcontractors to complete the project.
