The
founder
of
a
flood
action
group
has
accused
her
council
of
removing
support,
saying
residents are now "basically on our own".
Lis
Dales,
from
Castle
Street
Community
Flood
Action
Group
in
Kendal,
Cumbria,
said
the
change could put lives at risk and was "bordering on the negligent".
Other
community
groups
in
the
county
have
raised
concerns,
saying
that
more
could
be
done to protect people.

responses
to
BBC
about
Council
reduced
support
after
replacing SLDC in 2023
24-11-2024 Storm Bert ( Lynne Jones on Facebook
Well
Bert
raised
the
level
of
Thirlmere
by
about
80
cms
from
lunchtime
yesterday
until
lunchtime
today.
What
a
relief
to
still
have
loads
of
space
upstream.
Thanks
to
the
pumps
at
Penrith
Road
and
Elliott
Park
I
think
many
folk
have
less
to
worry
about
these
days.
The
BBC
said
we'd
had
62mm
of
rain
in
town
yesterday
but
it
was
managed.
The
new
storage
pond
at
Springs
Road
clearly
helps
hold
back
water
across
town,
gradually
releasing it to the river.

In
an
article
published
this
morning
the
Government
has
committed
to
looking
at
the
funding
for
flood
schemes.
This
is
something
we
have
long
been
pushing
for
and
we
are
keen
to
know
more
about
the
Government's
plans
and
ensuring
that
flooded
peoples
voices
are
heard
in
any
consultation.

Tim Farron MP giving the water companies a good kicking in this debate
"I have a few figures to demonstrate the situation, courtesy of the Rivers
Trust. Last year in Appleby, combined sewer outflows into the River Eden
saw 46 spills. At Kirkby Stephen on the River Eden, there were 135 spills.
At Staveley on the River Kent, there were 283 spills. At Tebay on the River
Lune, there were 124 spills.-" You've got to wonder why the Rivers Trust
aren't publicising those figures themselves!
