Ten years after Storm Desmond, £600M+ has been spent on Cumbria flood defences to protect 40,000 homes, but flooding persists.
Ten years after Storm Desmond's record rainfall in Cumbria, over £600 million has been spent on flood defences across the region, with £2.65 billion pledged for 2024–2026.
Major projects in Carlisle, Kendal, Preston, and other areas aim to protect more than 40,000 homes and businesses.
Natural flood management initiatives, including the Brampton "2 Zero" project, have received over £5 million in funding.
Despite progress, flooding still occurs, and officials urge residents to check flood risk, sign up for warnings at gov.uk/get-flood-warnings, and prepare with flood kits and knowledge of utility shut-offs.
