Kindly advise how is it for a South Asian family to live in Frizington West Cumbria, specially the law and order situation, thanks.

Cumbria is very racist.

Definitely a very 'white' population but unlikely to be unsafe in reference to the OPs concerns about 'law and order'. If you're used to big cities, crime and disorder is very low in comparison. Probably more old fashioned attitudes to other races rather than 'hate crime' level concerns.

The major downside for a lot of people of any race is that West Cumbria is a long way from just about anywhere. I've done consultancy work there and could walk into a well paid job with one of a few major employers, and like walking in the countryside, coast etc but what puts me off is that if you want to maintain ties with friends, family or travel internationally, go to concerts or experience any sort of city life, it's all a real trek away. Hours of driving on narrow country roads.

What's making you look at this place OP?

The NE is more diverse, has cities and has better transport links. More going on there.

@BarbaraofSeville lets talk in Private I am a consultant too by profession.

I live in West Cumbria (not Fritzington area) and it's all very isolated like PP said.

West Cumbrian here. Intrigued as to why Frizington specifically. I would recommend Cockermouth. It would be a bit more diverse and 40 minutes from the motorway, unlike Frizington which would be well over an hour.
