Labour members in Cumbria gathered outside the county council's headquarters in Carlisle as the party prepares to launch its manifesto ahead of May's elections.
In Carlisle, Labour has candidates standing in Harraby South, Harraby North, Currock, Castle, Yewdale, Morton, Denton Holme, Botcherby, Belah and Stanwix in the county council elections, which are taking place on May 4.
Stewart Young, leader of Cumbria County Council, said that it was a "challenge" to put together the manifesto following Government funding cuts.
He said: "We've been in administration for four years now and this is essentially a view of what we've been doing over those four years.
"We've got planning permission for two new care homes - one in Carlisle and one in Copeland - and we're also focusing on extra care housing."
A total of 84 seats across Cumbria will be contested at the elections, on Thursday, May 4.
