The Local Flood Risk Management Strategy has an action plan that identifies a programme of work for reducing local flood risk within Westmorland and Furness. Alongside the preparation of the Strategy a number of environmental and equality impact assessments have been carried out.
This strategy was adopted on 10 November 2022 following public consultation in September 2022. As a 'living document', the strategy along with the Action Plan and supporting assessments will be updated regularly.
