Farron delighted after completion of Stock beck flood scheme
Local MP Tim Farron welcomed the recent completion of the Stock Beck Flood Alleviation Scheme. The scheme had been planned since 1999 when 51 homes were flooded but had been beset by funding problems. There had been serious doubts over the scheme until Tim called a round-the-table meeting at which DEFRA agreed to fund the full cost of the scheme.
