Flood alert removed from Cumbria

The risk of flooding has receded and a flood alert has been removed.

People were warned to be prepared for flooding as recent heavy rainfall affected the Upper River Derwent, Stonethwaite Beck and Derwentwater.

Flooding could affect locations near the Upper River Derwent, Stonethwaite Beck and Derwentwater, with low lying land expected to be most affected, particularly around the Upper Derwent from Seathwaite to Derwentwater.

River and lake levels are forecast to begin falling.

Workers cleared debris from weed screens in the area and said they would continue to monitor levels closely.

People were asked to avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses and do not attempt to walk or drive through flood water

Flash flooding hit the Borrowdale valley on Friday – halting motorists, killing dozens of sheep and seeing river levels rise with nearly four inches of rain in places.

Torrential downpours starting in the morning and getting heavier throughout Friday afternoon saw the level of Derwentwater breach its banks in places, with Derwent Beck also rising rapidly.

It left fields flooded and low-lying sections of the B5289 road under several feet of water – leading to motorists having to be towed out by 4x4s with reports on social media of farmers losing dozens of animals.
