So what reaction is there to the 2025 Budget in Cumbria?

We've been  asking a variety of people from sectors all over Cumbria for their views on the Budget and how they see it making a difference - good or bad - to all of us.

We'll bring you an overview from The Work Foundation and hear from the world of manufacturing, and two businesses involved in very different products.

We’ll hear from a tax specialist, an HR expert and from the charitable sector too.
