REFUGES for women and children fleeing violent partners are in line for a £1.8 million cash injection across the North West, including six units in South Lakeland and six in Eden. The cash is part of £18.8 million of national funding allocated within 34 local authorities in England.
Eden is set to receive £508,675, while South Lakeland has been allocated £614,197 to build and develop refuges.
The Housing Corporation, which contributed £9.9 million to the total national investment, will assess funding bids to ensure the money is spent where there is most need.
