40 jobs are at risk after Copeland Council looks to save £2.6m over the next two years. If given the go ahead by the council's Cabinet, a three month public consultation will begin.
The Beacon Museum, Civic Hall and Whitehaven's Christmas lights are all at risk.
A charity in west Cumbria has listened to the pleas of young people who complain they don't have enough to do... and launched a mobile youth club.
This is the big white van that will be touring Copeland giving youngsters somewhere to go during the summer holidays. It is equipped with computers, games, a flat screen TV; moveable tables and chairs; space for mountain bikes; and study space.
There are also youth works on hand to offer advice.
A roaming youth club in the form of a bus is touring west Cumbria to give teenagers something to do in the summer holidays.
The bus is equipped with computer games, mountain bikes and books.
It stops off at different parts of Copeland in evenings and weekends during term time and throughout the school holidays. It's called the 'Big White Van' and is run by Young Cumbria and manned by qualified youth counsellors who can give advice and assistance to youngsters.
It was introduced by Copeland after a similar scheme in Allerdale was successful.
A survey in the Copeland area found that 86% of young people wanted one of the vans in their area.
– Spokesperson, 'Big White Van' Scheme"The aim of the vans is to try to address the problem of the lack of youth services in West Cumbria and issues such as boredom and antisocial behaviour among young people."
