Glenridding: Cumbrian village sees flooding for third time in fortnight

The Cumbrian village of Glenridding is experiencing flooding for the third time in just over a fortnight after another storm hit the beleaguered region.

Owners of the local Glenridding Hotel posted a series of pictures on Facebook showing the impact of more heavy rain and wind, which has prompted a series of flood warnings across the region.

The owners wrote that they were "feeling defeated" and "please no more rain" as the hotel's bar and kitchen were flooded again.

They added that fire services were attending to help pump out water around two feet deep and they were "just trying to smile and carry on".

Well-wishers posted offers of accommodation and help, but the hotel replied: "We are all well please don't worry ... but thank you so much for your offers x."

Several flood warnings and alerts have been issued across Cumbria, while a number of roads have also been closed as the conditions take their toll on parts of the country struggling to recover.

The Environment Agency said they expected more rain and flooding in the coming days over other regions.

Areas which could be hit include Durham, the River Wye in Herefordshire, the River Severn in Shropshire and Worcestershire and the River Ouse in York.

There is a possibility of sections of roads being flooded, travel disruption and delays due to temporary flood defences being deployed.

Just two weeks ago Storm Desmond wrought devastation in the region and parts of the north-west.

Many were left homeless by the flooding, as defences built just three years ago were breached by record rainfall.

In response the government pledged a £50 million fund to help affected families and businesses recover.
