People were shown plans for latest stage of the £76 million Kendal flood risk management scheme.
Residents had the opportunity to talk to the Environment Agency team and contractors who are working on the project.
The session, at Castle Street Community Centre last Wednesday, near where the improvements to the Stock Beck Pumping Station and Gooseholme Park flood defences are proposed.
People viewed architects’ designs, artist’s impressions and information on the plans which are due to be submitted to South Lakeland District Council later this month.
Environment Agency area manager Stewart Mounsey said: “It has been great to see so many residents coming to see the work we are planning for the Gooseholme area of Kendal and to talk to us about the plans for the flood risk management scheme and to give us their feedback.
“It is important to get the scheme is built as quickly as possible to protect homes, businesses and infrastructure in this area of Kendal. We are now seeking feedback around the final design that we have created, and all comments received will be fed into the planning application submission.”
The plans are available to view on The Flood Hub website at www.thefloodhub.com/kendal and people can leave comments.
When complete, the Kendal Flood Risk Management Scheme will help protect 1,480 homes, 1,150 businesses and key infrastructure from flooding.
