Still manages its own housing/leasehold service directly
Council housing stock inherited from the former Barrow Borough Council continues to be managed directly, in-house, by Westmorland and Furness Council (barrowbc.gov.uk now redirects to the unitary council's site); the former South Lakeland district's stock was separately transferred to South Lakes Housing via LSVT in March 2012, before the unitary council was created
