Cumbria Firearms

[pete b]

There has been a massive turnaround in the situation at Cumbria Firearms Department.

They said they were going to sort it and they have.

New manager and loads of new staff.

I've just had a two week turnaround for a variation.

Full communication throughout the process.

I am picking up my new rifle tomorrow.

Could this improvement be due to an increased budget since the increase in fees?
Conor's post of 22nd May on this forum did mention this was a possibility.

"The police forces that have provided assurances to BASC on the resourcing of firearms licensing departments are:

Cheshire
Cumbria
Derbyshire
Dorset
Dyfed Powys
Essex
Gloucestershire
Hampshire
Kent
Lancashire
Norfolk
Northumbria
North Yorkshire
Staffordshire
Suffolk
Surrey
West Mercia

We live in hope, submitted a new application on Friday last week for Suffolk... BASC confirmed with me that I shouldn't expect much change from their initial report earlier this year in terms of turnaround, but perhaps if everything goes well I'll be in luck for a certificate before the end of 2025.
