THE Ship Inn at Sandside flooded again in a recent high tide, Beetham Parish Council heard. Mud and sand breached the pub's cellars.

Councillors were also told of "persistent flooding" between two bridges on the B5282 road, at their January meeting. Cumbria County Council's highways department has been asked to look at the problem.

Meanwhile, a warning of "severe traffic disruption" in February has been given, when Milnthorpe traffic lights will have extensive road resurfacing.
