Action for Staveley

Water butts are a great addition to your garden – untreated rainwater is good for your plants and if you’re on a water meter, you’ll save a little money too. If you haven't already ordered your free slow release water butt, simply click the link below to find out more. The offer will end on Friday 31st May.

We are 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.  Our plan includes increasing capacity at Staveley treatment works with new pipework and pumps as well as more monitoring and CCTV surveys of the local sewer network.  You will see us around the village more and more as we complete our investigation work to design a final solution for Staveley.

You may also have seen recently that we’ve installed rainwater planters at the Village Hall and the Pavilion to help slow the flow of rain into the sewers. We need your help to tackle the rain too, and we’ve been delighted that so many of you ordered a free slow release water butt which have now been delivered.
