As the snow melts and the rain pelts, there are now four flood alerts in Cumbria. River and lake levels are rising quickly in many places. 💧You can check how the conditions are in your area by visiting here: check-for-flooding.service.gov.uk/find-location 🛑 @windermereferry is battling bad weather and rising water levels.

We are back in Cockermouth tomorrow, Sunday 10 December! See you there, 10am to 4pm, for lots more of this! #supportlocal #shoplocal

KKS will be closed tomorrow the 4th Dec because of the snow, and the icy conditions overnight which mean that we cannot guarantee a safe site tomorrow (Monday). School is expected to be open at the normal time on Tuesday morning. We look forward to welcoming everyone back then.

Severe snow in the Lakes

A major incident has been declared as heavy snow impacts Cumbria. Roads in many places are treacherous. Please do not add to the problem by making unnecessary journeys. @Cumbriapolice and all agencies are working hard to help those stuck in snow.

There is significant risk of wildfire at the moment in the #LakeDistrict. There’s been virtually no rain for weeks, the lakes levels are very low and the ground is tinder dry. PLEASE don’t light any fires, BBQs and be very careful about the disposal of cigarettes.

Did you know that the £2 single bus journey cap has been extended until October? With regular buses throughout the Lake District there's never been a better time to sit back and enjoy the views while exploring a new area of the National Park. More info: ow.ly/QFKM50OEeWG
