Flood warning far less - South Ulverston

Previously very heavy downpour was predicted for this Sunday evening by the Met forecast; the severity of the downpour has now diminished.

Starting slowly at 4 in the afternoon and building up to a downpour of half inch of rain in three hours at ten in the evening. The other side of the coin is that the Met often get it wrong for Ulverston as we have our own microclimate because of our position between Bay and Mountains. Every time I look , the pattern of rain stays the same but the quantities are going down.

Low Mill Bridge will have difficulty coping as I'm not aware of anything having been done by the river authority to remove the concrete blocks and large beam that is embedded in the river bed just downstream of of the bridge.

I shall be raising this issue with Peter Hornby, the new County Councillor for East Ulverston who James Airey assures me is a good man and will be fighting for Ulverston. The two of them could make a good team.
