The Environment Agency is delivering a proposed Flood Risk Management Scheme to better protect homes, businesses and communities from flooding across the Kent catchment, while improving the local environment and community amenities.
Kendal Town is the first area to be delivered, with the upstream communities of Burneside, Staveley and Ings, including flood storage, forming later stages of the scheme. In addition, Natural Flood Management measures are being integrated into the plans which help slow the flow of water, store water in the landscape, improve habitats and biodiversity, whilst providing wider environmental benefits across the catchment.
