A NEW £30,000 study could help pave the way for more jobs and housing in Eden.

Cumbria County Council’s local committee for Eden allocated £15,000 for the study - which aims to identify the road and transport improvements necessary to aid the creation of new homes and jobs over the next 15 years.

The total anticipated cost of the study is £30,000 and it is expected Eden District Council will make a match funding contribution.
