Flooding expected. Take action now.
River levels are high and forecast to rise further on the River Caldew due to heavy rainfall.
Further flooding could occur at the Viaduct Estate Road area, including Cumbria Indoor Bowls Club, adjacent commercial properties and car parks either side of the railway line as river levels are high. We expect river levels to remain high overnight and into Thursday morning. We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff have closed flood defences. We are liaising with emergency services and local authorities. Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses. You should avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. This message will be updated at 12 noon, 23/05/2024, or as the situation changes.
