Will the person who wrote this piece please research the legislation which set up cumbria council then return here and explain exactly where it says cumbria is a "county" which "replaced" Cumberland, Westmorland, the West Riding and Lancashire North of the Sands. If I can do it then it should be a simple enough task for any competent journo.
