£50 million bid to secure futures of Cleator Moor and Millom Roger Morris-Eyton and Kayleigh Danels A bid for up to £50 million to invest into the future of two West Cumbrian communities has been unveiled. Cleator Moor and Millom’s town boards have finalised their applications for the Governmentâs Towns Fund. If successful, it is hoped that up to £25 million of investment from the Government will be pumped into each town. Copeland Council was invited to bid for funding on behalf of Cleator Moor (incorporating Cleator) and Millom (incorporating Haverigg) in January last year. Town boards were created, made up of community representatives, which have been working in with the council to produce town investment plans.
