Cumberland Council is a unitary authority formed in 2023, when the districts of Allerdale, Carlisle and Copeland merged, while taking on the functions of the former Cumbria County Council in those areas.
Elections to the council are held every four years with 46 councillors being elected in 46 wards. 13 of those wards are wholly or partly in the Penrith and Solway constituency. An electoral division boundary map can be downloaded here, until the next boundary review this is a map of the former Cumbria electoral division boundaries that were used for the new council. You can find your Penrith and Solway Conservative councillors here.
Politically, the council is currently controlled by Labour.
