The historic Cumberland and Westmorland Herald has been put into administration. THIS evening should have been all about the start of Kendal Calling for thousands of revellers — but instead of living it up in the fields at Lowther Deer Park would-have-been festival-goers can tune into a new online radio station which will be broadcasting live across the weekend via the festival's website.FEARS that pubs in Eden and Carlisle would spark a wave of new coronavirus cases have not been borne out, Cumbria's director of public health Colin Cox said. The 160-year-old Cumberland and Westmorland Herald newspaper has gone into administration, resulting in six redundancies.A notice from administrators KPMG said options to sell the weekly broadsheet newspaper, which covers a large area of East Cumbria, are currently being explored.A total of 26 staff are employed by the independent title at its base in Penrith, with six having made redundant immediately after the appointment of administrators today.Howard Smith, associate partner at KPMG and joint administrator, said: “The Herald has been a cornerstone of the community in East Cumbria for over a hundred years.“Unfortunately, however, an increasing deficit in the company’s defined benefits pension scheme, in addition to the longstanding pressures facing the regional print media industry were behind the directors’ difficult decision to place the company into administration.“Our intention is to continue to trade the business for a short period while we explore options for a possible sale.”A further two editions of the paper are expected to be published under the direction of the editor.One member of the paper’s editorial team, who asked to remain anonymous, described the office as feeling like a “funeral” following the meeting in which staff were told the news at 2pm today.“There is a sad feeling of a loss, not just people and their jobs for the community and a paper that really does centre at the heart of the community.”They added that there was a “real sense of unity” among staff that they would work together or with anyone who gets in touch with ideas for the company moving forward.Interested parties should contact Ryan Manuel at KPMG on 0161 246 4151.The Herald has created a remarkable and accessible archive of local history over 160 years which it is difficult to see will be replicated elsewhere.The Herald has created a remarkable archive of accessible local history over 160 years which it is difficult to see will be replicated elsewhere.© copyright 2020 Press Gazette Ltd.
