Summary of West Cumbria Catchment Management Groups Workshop Mungrisdale Village Hall, 6Th November 2018 Summary of West Cumbria Catchment Management Groups Workshop Mungrisdale Village Hall, 6th November 2018 Attendees: 32 people attended the workshop Adam Briggs – NFU John Ferguson – Highways England Andrew Harrison - Cumbria County Council John Gorst – United Utilities Annabelle Kennedy – West Cumbria Rivers Trust John Malley – National Trust Anthony Lane – Cumbria County Council Keira Armstrong – Environment Agency Barry Chambers – Allerdale Borough Council Louisa Simpson-Brown – United Utilities Caitlin Pearson - West Cumbria Rivers Trust Michael Holt-Baines - Cumbria County Council Cath Johnson– Lake District National Park Neil Harnott – Cumbria Wildlife Trust Chris Evans – Environment Agency Neville Elstone – Cumbria Woodlands Christina Worsley - Newground Paul Barnes – Community/Farming representative David Bechelli – Copeland Borough Council Peter Miles – Environment Agency David Kennedy – Environment Agency Rachel Osborne – Highways England Doug Coyle - Cumbria County Council Sam Townend – Environment Agency Faith Cole – Derwent Community representative Tim Duckmanton – Lake District National Park Jack Abernethy – River Corridors Group/Derwent Veronica Waller – Farmer Network Owners Association Vikki Salas - West Cumbria Rivers Trust Jan Darrell – Friends of the Lake District Viv Lewis – Foundation for Common Land Jo Ratcliffe – Environment Agency Meeting presentations are available on the attached Powerpoint slides. Any questions and discussions are summarised below. Project Pipeline Vikki Salas (West Cumbria Rivers Trust) The project pipeline now contains all projects, not just those with specific flood drivers. All the projects that we were aware of have been added but will need updating. Please update by 12th November using the google spreadsheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15SKBeMte6kpiH_v5XimW8QM3NWQfmT- wNIndMFsl4Qk/edit#gid=1172685711 There was a discussion about whether the project list is being used to its full potential given the effort that goes in to collating the spreadsheet. Chris Evans (EA) – It is a brilliant resource and highlights opportunities to link with other ongoing projects and create partnerships but we need to we need to make the system slicker and easier to use. Could make an access database so we can pull in hotspot data. Chris Evans is working on a system with South Cumbria Rivers Trust. Action: Chris Evans to bring ideas to steering group to make systems align across all three CMGs. Keira Armstrong – Environment Agency: we need to make sure the list highlights where there are opportunities and informs a forward plan. In future the CMG could be used to highlight any issues or blockers to projects. If members of the CMG cannot help address problems, it can be escalated to CSFP or North West RFCC. Project working group updates Environment Agency – Capital Flood Defence Schemes- Sam Townend Appraisal work is ongoing and several schemes are progressing. All projects have been through viability checks and some dropped out at this stage, mainly due to them being economically inviable at the present time (Workington, Cockermouth, Keswick and Maryport). Bootle, Blennerhasset and Baggrow, and Lorton had initial appraisals but no viable options were found. Viable schemes are being taken forward: - Egremont had build approval and will progress over winter, firstly with property level protection. - Wigton, Flimby and Braithwaite are at the are now at the detailed options evaluation. - Ennerdale bridge short listing of preferred options. Natural Flood Management was included as an option for all areas and is likely to be a significant element of schemes in Wigton, Flimby and Ennerdale bridge. The schemes that currently are not viable may be able to progress in the future if partnership funding is available but the funding shortfall for many of the projects is very large (see slides). They are included in future spending reviews. The Environment Agency are continuing to pursue FCRM in these areas in other ways (e.g. looking into Thirlmere releases and utilising Crummock water) and are part of partner led projects where they will look for joint opportunities and provide support. Appraisal summaries for all areas will be available online soon. Doug Coyle – Cumbria County Council – The CMG need to have sight of the spending review for the next six years and input into what we want to put forward. Vikki invited the community to bring forward anything the Flood Action groups are working on, such as the ‘Special case for Cumbria’ paper so that it could get input and the formal backing of the CMG. Faith Cole – Sue Hayman MP has asked for a paper from the community/FAGs to highlight the pitfalls in the funding formula, which will be taken to Therese Coffey. Cumbria County Council – Flood Defence Schemes- Doug Coyle There is a new team within CCC to specifically look at capital flood schemes. Kate Luxton is on a two-year secondment from Environment Agency, Andrew Harrison and Jenny Brough (part time from Jan 2019) will be working on developing an increased scope of NFM and engineered flood defence projects. Projects need approval from the Environment Agency and then from CCC Strategic infrastructure group. The current projects within West Cumbria CMG area being developed are: - East Whitehaven culverts - Fairways attenuation, Seascale - Gosforth – majority of the project will be NFM, will look to partners to help with delivery/biodiversity benefits. Also some upsizing of pipework through the village. - Moresby - Penrith Road - Railway Terrace, Seascale - Santon way, Seascale – received funding from NW RFCC - Cumbria Coastal strategy - Tallentire and Ravenglass are pipeline projects for 2021 -2027 Flimby – Sam Townend (Environment Agency) In early August a shortlisting workshop was held with partner organisations and options agreed. Community day held in September and the options were accepted. Options include channel diversions, infrastructure improvements, upstream storage and NFM. NFM will be delivered by both the DEFRA NFM programme (£2.6 million pot), for which the business case has been improved and through Flood Defence GiA as part of the capital scheme. There is lots of landowner buy-in and with 15 leaky dams to be delivered over this winter and monitoring of their effectiveness. Water sampling and ground investigations are underway. There will be a community and landowner meeting in January to refine the preferred options. A66 Portinscale Highways Scheme – John Ferguson (Highways England) The working group met last week which was a very positive meeting. Over the last few months the consultants have been pulling in information from lots of sources to create an accurate hydraulic and hydrological model of the area including Newlands valley, Braithwaite village, Portinscale and the effects of the river Derwent. The model is currently being checked with some ground truthing and should be finished before Christmas. When everyone is happy with it, the model will be used to look at potential solutions. There are three potential parts to a project: - Slow the Flow measures in the upper Newlands catchment - River restoration in Newlands valley. Currently at feasibility study stage inc. sediment modelling. Led by WCRT. - Braithwaite flood defences – the Highways England model will be used to look at wider implications of EA scheme and partnership funding options are being explored. River Annas NFM There has been limited progress since the last meeting. With funding from Woodland Trust and Slow the Flow local levy we are continuing to undertake farm NFM scoping visits. There are lots of potential opportunities. There are still a few farms to visit and will then think about approaching Commoners with support from Farmer Network and Natural England. An application to Slow the Flow local levy for delivery money, starting in 2019. A working group meeting was recently postponed and will be rearranged for December. St. John’s working group – Update provided by APEM The St. John’s beck restoration project aims to look at the feasibility of restoration options on the St John’s Beck. The St John’s Beck forms part of the River Derwent and Bassenthwaite Lake Special Area of Conservation and is a good salmon river, but its geomorphology is extensively altered. Solutions to the flow regime and to improving the physical structure of the St John’s Beck are unlikely to prove sustainable without a sound geomorphological understanding. They also need to provide a benefit to the river and its floodplain in its widest sense. Likewise, they are unlikely to be sustained without uptake by other stakeholders. Therefore, as well as a technical element, the river restoration project has strong elements of stakeholder engagement and Natural Capital (to understand the benefits provided to all parties by the Beck). In the technical area we have significantly developed our understanding of the geomorphology of the beck. We have collated data, mapped the physical interventions along the beck and reviewed the various existing models. We have also set out our outline Natural Capital method and made initial contact with stakeholders covering most if not all uses of the Beck. There have been some delays with the project due to the dry summer which prevented flow trials being undertaken to inform sediment transport models and diverted EA and UU staff resource from the project. We are committed to completion by the end of March 2019. Next steps: - By end 2018 - document our geomorphological understanding and assessment of Natural

  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

We formed the Aspatria Rural Partnership and decided to prepare this Community Action Plan. It aims to provide a strategic approach and to co-ordinate our actions through the delivery of an evidence-based action plan. This is intentionally a succinct document, which belies the amount of work that went into its preparation. That work is captured in a background issues paper, which sets out the research and consultation that helped us define our objectives and actions. We now want to implement our plan and we welcome your input. If we have missed something that is important to you, then let us know. If you have any suggestions on the actions or if there is anything you can do to help implement them, please do get in touch.

  • Floods in Carlisle - January 2005
    Floods in Carlisle - January 2005 Heavy rainfall on Friday 7 January led to flooding in Carlisle on Saturday 8th January 2005. The rainfall was prolonged over the high ground of the nearby Lake District and Pennines, draining into the River Eden on which Carlisle is situated. Places in western Scotland and north Wales also recorded high rainfall amounts from this event because of similar conditions in a south-westerly airstream. Impacts Three people were killed, many homes and businesses were flooded and schools were closed. There was widespread transport disruption with all of Carlisle's buses damaged. Appleby, Cockermouth and Keswick also had flooding. This was the worst flood to affect Carlisle since 1822. The following are links to the BBC News website. Weather data On the 7th a westerly airstream affected the UK with a near stationary weather front across northern England and southern Scotland. A very deep depression then tracked eastwards across southern Scotland on the 8th. Details of the wind associated with this system are given January 2005 - stormy spells The highest rainfall (180.4 mm) was recorded at Rydal Hall, Cumbria and this is estimated as likely to occur less oen than once in 200 years. Many places had over 100 mm of rain in one day with several having a once in more than 30 years event. The synoptic situation at 12 GMT on Friday 7 January 2005. Shown below are the rainfall rates detected by the rainfall radar network every 15 minutes from 1800 on 7 January to 0300 on 8 January 2005. This map gives the distribution of rainfall

  • Living Lakes
    Pre-Submission Local Plan Living Lakes Your Local Plan #ShapeTheLakes April 2019 Credit: Andrew Locking Andrew “TheSection 1 IntroductionLake District is an2 evolving masterpiece, shaped and modified by people, culture, farming and industry for thousands of years.” Lord Clark of Windermere, 2015 Section 1 Introduction i Foreword Since our Core Strategy was adopted in 2010, planning policy has undergone some significant changes as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). As such, we need to ensure our plans are fit for purpose and conform to national planning policy. The new Local Plan will be our strategic plan for development for the Lake District up to 2035. Our aim has been to produce a planning framework that delivers the homes, communities and countryside that the Lake District wants and needs. We want to deliver our vision for the Lake District to be ‘an inspirational example of sustainable development in action’. The Lake District received its inscription as a World Heritage Site in July 2017. In the longer term we want World Heritage Status to be a positive force to support new investment in the Lake District’s cultural and natural environment, its communities and economies. One of our key challenges is to enable growth to provide housing and jobs whilst conserving the landscape and its Special Qualities and attributes of Outstanding Universal Value. We have gathered evidence and listened to our communities, businesses and stakeholders to find out what the key issues are in the Lake District and how we can use this plan to deliver those aspirations. This Plan is a result of consultation and engagement with our communities, businesses, organisations and stakeholders.
