WESTMORLAND and Lonsdale MP Tim Farron has been visiting residents on Kendal's Mintsfeet who are still waiting for flood protection measures to be installed at their homes, after Storm Desmond struck in December 2015.

The MP said he was "deeply concerned" that half the homes he saw did not have proper protection.

He has also asked the Government to pay for a quality check of all flood work done on people's homes to ensure it is "up to the job".
