Action for Staveley

We’re on a mission to make the North West stronger and for Staveley that means increasing resilience towards climate change through rainwater management.

Cumbria sees its fair share of rain and Staveley is no exception. To tackle these challenges, we’re looking at how we can improve our network to meet demands for now and in the future. As part of our Action Plan for Staveley we’re developing plans to reduce storm water spills into the River Kent. We’ve already increased capacity at Staveley treatment works and you will see us around the village more and more as we complete our investigation work to design a long-term engineering solution for Staveley.
