The River Kent at Kendal

The River Kent at Kendal
A new river wall in the making here as the flood prevention scheme goes on for yet another year.

The people of Kendal are quite fed-up with all this now. It has been going on for years and effects the river bank and promenades for a good way from the town centre. However my nephew had water to the edge of his front door in the great Kendal flood of 2022 and so they might feel safer when this is done. The river around here has caused bad flooding for many years now. High river walls and armoured glass fences atop must cost a fortune.

HWW, enjoy the day.

A fine capture and interesting notes, however keep building houses on green land and the problems become worse, HWW Herb!
It's a good few years since we last visited,

Thanks Rog. Its still a great place to visit and gets pretty busy at times. The flood prevention scheme does give extra interest to the place I must admit.

HWW, enjoy the day. Herb

Eigentlich schade, wie diese Maßnahmen diesen schönen Ort verschandeln aber sicherlich ist das mehr als nötig....ich frage mich, ob auch hier die Klimakrise "zuschlägt"?
hWW Dir Herb und danke für die interessanten Informationen dazu!

You are right Tanja, it does look like over-kill but this river rises very quick and dramatically after heavy rainfall in the nearby Lake District mountains. Yes, we are all convinced that it is our climate warming that is to blame.

HWW. enjoy the week. Herb

We've had this sort of construction going on in Portsmouth for some years now as well............it's a massive project, but it's coming to an end soon.........and the vast majority of people are really pleased with the way it's turned out. I hope that will be the case for the project you're posting about.

A nicely captured image Herb.

Aye, a few places around England has had bad flooding over the last few years and many places is getting it worse nowadays. I am sure for the people affected by the floods, such preventative measures are a Godsend.

Best Wishes. Herb
