Current 2. Future 3. Future Recovery Planning Resilience

Sort out the Try and Stop If it does mess we it happening happen then have now again be prepared

3 Community Flood Plan Tasks 1. Set up a Community Flood Group with volunteers from all areas of the community and input from key agencies

2. Confirm problem areas, and for each identify what happened, why, what has been done, what still needs to be done and what needs to be done on a regular basis to make sure it doesn’t happen again

3. Agree these actions with the landowner, EA and other relevant agencies, secure the necessary funding, get the immediate stuff done, get sign off on regular maintenance work and commitment to future projects where required

4. Set up ongoing monitoring and emergency plans for future events 4 5 December Floods Timeline – First 7 Days Key Recovery Jobs Done Local Volunteers start clearing Glenridding Bridge Dredge Glenridding Beck c.10:00 in the village and down 30 sandbags to the Lake Pooley Army delivered to Glenridding Glenridding Bridge Arrives with Glenridding Beck burst Beck burst Collapses Food & c.14:00 in village again in Clear Beck at Gillside c.16:00 Water c.20:00 village c.23:00 and reinforce bank Met Office Beckside c.19:00 Goldrill under landslips warning issued for construction Bridge burst Storm Desmond arrive from c.23:00 Hartsop c.14:00 Reinstate roads to Village Clean Up I Village Clean Up 2 Steamers and Sailing Centre Friday Sat Sun Mon Tues Wed Thurs Dec 4th Dec 5th Dec 6th Dec 7th Dec 8th Dec 9th Dec 10th Dredge Grisedale Beck from PHE to beck mouth External Water Cut Vodafone Off/ Landlines Vodafone Mast offline Contaminated External Clear beck and stabilise c.21:00 Offline c.17:00 Landlines Mast online Restored c.16:00 bank in Grisedale Valley Glenridding to Patterdale Road Flooded 22:00 (x2) A592 from A592 from the north the north inaccessible accessible Reinforce beck bank c.17:00 c.15:00 behind Lanefoot cottages A592 from A592 from the south the south Domestic Flood Impact inaccessible accessible Dredge beck at Cow c.17:00 c.07:00 At least 70 properties and businesses in the Parish directly affected by flood Bridge Hartsop 3.5 inches of 8 inches of damage – ranging from the catastrophic rain at rain at Gillside Gillside to the marginal. Some properties flooded Clear drains and culverts up to 3 times at Grisedale Bridge Community Flood Plan - Progress to Date

• Draft list of key issues and actions produced (Community Flood Plan version 5) • Website created (www.parishfloodgroup.org) • Discussions held with other communities with existing flood groups (Stockdalewath, Talybont) • Discussions held with National Flood Forum and request for assistance on resilience work made • Initial community meeting held 29th January at Patterdale School • Meeting held with EA, National Trust, LDNP, Eden Rivers Trust & Natural England to agree approach • Area Flood Group meetings held at Rookings (Patterdale), Grisedale Bridge and Glenridding • Regular attendance at Eden Flood Recovery Forum • Attendance at last Cumbria Flood Partnership (CFP) Meeting • Attendance at Upstream Water Mgt workshop of CFP • Ongoing negotiation with EA on Glenridding Beck Wall repair and Jenkins Field • Ongoing discussion with EDC on Jenkins Field • Ongoing discussions with LDNP on Car Park, TIC, Footpaths etc • Ongoing discussions with National Trust on repair work needed on NT Land and also on water management in other areas of the Dale • Ongoing discussions with Eden Rivers Trust on work • Ongoing discussions with EDC on flood recovery work, resilience grant applications, and potential funding • Ongoing discussions with CCC/Highways on drainage work, road repair and tree work • Ongoing discussions with landowners re: work required….. 6 Community Flood Plan – Key Issues • Inter-agency cooperation & communication – with each other and the community • Future of Jenkins Field • Timetable for repair of Glenridding Beck Wall • Funding for repairs not covered by insurance/resilience grants (eg Lanefoot) • DEFRA agreement on protection of HLS payments where flood protection work required upstream • Simple, single & speedy consent for beck work now and in the future • Funding for current project and future maintenance tasks

7 Future Planning – Some Possible Key Principles 1. Upstream in all the valleys - try and slow the flow, store overspill, and absorb as much as possible

2. Downstream keep the capacity levels high to allow quick outflow into the lake, and make sure the beck walls are high enough and strong enough

3. Downstream as a general rule trees on the bank are good (but should be pollarded), trees in the beck are bad

4. Remove gravel only at key laying points, to agreed levels, using agreed process at agreed times!

5. Regular clearance of all drains and culverts

6. Take control for maintenance locally where possible 8 Resilience Team

Team Leaders - Jon Holdsworth / Fra Cooke

9 Resilience Team Update 10

The dale is being divided up in to six designated flood areas. We hope to appoint two or more flood wardens to look after each area

The wardens will help set up and maintain systems for their specific area including: • Buddy system to look after vulnerable people • Cascade communication system to more easily disseminate information • Inspection regimes on water courses and paths to help monitor conditions, spot problems early, and recognise danger signs that can act as triggers (eg: beck height) • Action plans to follow in the event of a trigger point being reached • Helping organise and maintain equipment and locate strategically positioned storage for it

We are compiling a definitive inventory of emergency equipment that we’d like located in each flood area all-year-round

Communications resilience is being looked at by Graeme Connacher and Martin Butcher with the intention of setting up satellite links at key strategic locations. These will need generator back up and if anybody already has and maintains a generator and is willing to have satellite comms then please contact Graeme

We are compiling a list of emergency contacts, and looking in to how our flood plan can work alongside and actually help the police, EA, LDNPA, PMRA, HA etc

We are also compiling a list of contractors and key local people that can help in an emergency

We are looking in to the potential for a ‘Press Officer’ role to organise liaisons with the media better and make sure that the correct messages are sent out to maximise benefit and minimise impact on the dale

We are liaising with the Health Centre to see if we can help monitor, look after and distribute medicines to vulnerable people in the event of any emergency

We are liaising with businesses to see whether they are happy to be kept in our communication loop but to essentially ‘look after themselves’ and not need community support for any emergency preparations in a flood situation Resilience Plan – Some Ideas 11

This is a long term aim and subject to funding. 73Glenridding Greenside - Tailings LDNP/Coal Board Working with the Coal Authority the LDNP have a capital works programme to ensure the long term sustainability of the tailings dams. There is a capital budget allocated to Dams repair/replace the main open drain at the top of tailings dam 1, the tailings dam on the East. This is scheduled to be completed this year, and will involve engagement with residents and parish council to outline the works up there. Our work with the Coal Authority includes quarterly reviews and inspections of the whole site.

The from Greenside bridges bridge over Rowten Beck will be replaced hopefully in the next 18 months, with a wider bridge allowing greater Mine to Kepple capacity beneath. The zig zags along the bridleway up Keppel Cove towards Raise has had some path surface Cove loss. This will need a skilled digger operator to repair and potentially some materials importing. This has been costed into our flood recovery bid and will prioritised accordingly. The track up to Kepple Cove dam needs some maintenance work which will be prioritised in our work programme. 71Glenridding Public footpath from LDNP This is OK. One of the footbridges over Red Tarn Beck has been damaged, but is safe and passable for walkers. Greenside Mine to Repaire and improvements have been costed in our recovery bid. Red Tarn 72Glenridding Glenridding LDNP Landslides, footpath erosion Glenridding Common is owned by the Lake District National Park and we work with the graziers (Peter Iredale & Common Mary Lightfoot) to manage the land. Currently, the common is managed as part of a 10 year HLS agri- environmental agreement. This started in May 2013 and involved the owner (LDNP) completing capital works such as fencing and tree planting and the graziers to sheep numbers and grazing management plans.

Certainly the Glenridding Common forms the majority land of the catchment for Glenridding Beck, and potentially offers significant opportunities for catjhment management. We will need to work with our partners, graziers and the local community to identify opportunities and seek funding.

There are 3 main landslides (I know of) 2 near Red Tarn Beck beneath Catstye Cam and 1 beneath Kepple Cove. As neither have caused any damage to the paths nearby, at this time we are unlikely to do anything there, but future management of the Common might dictate otherwise.
