Just recently there’s been a lot of headline news about flooding especially in the area of Cumbria, so I thought it was of relevance to write a blog about it.
The main problem in the area is a number of bridges have collapsed and many are on the verge of giving way in the flood. Many homes, businesses and community spots around town have been affected by the extreme weather conditions. The most concerning issue relating to the flooding is that Cumbria has a large number of bridges throughout the area and with the bridges giving way under the amount of pressure it’s a danger to the community.
Cumbria is one of the worst hit areas of flooding and has been ever since floods hit the area back in 2005, but there has never been any ideas brought forward to help stop or decrease the amount of damage created by the surrounding waters. For me I believe the main question we should think about is that is there any way to guarantee that this doesn’t happen?
As a designer myself the best thing about this area of expertise is that we can also use our ability and put it to good use. So why not gather designers together to create something that can help improve the lives of everyone in the local area of Cumbria.
