The Environment Agency has begun dredging the River Kent in Kendal again after more storms at the end of January washed up to 100 tonnes of gravel back downstream.
It's emergency work that wouldn't normally happen in the winter and is designed to protect properties from flooding in the town, where around 3,000 homes and businesses were flooded in December.
But some people in the town have been calling on the Environment Agency to dredge the River Kent for years and they're angry it wasn't done before the storms of December.
If the weather's kind, the work should be finished next week, the diggers then move to other parts of the river.
The Environment Agency's also working on a £25million flood defence scheme for the area.
