Due to the poor record Warcop has of houses being flooded due to high rainfall, I am very concerned about any increase in Highways drainage being taken to the main stream through Warcop, called Crooks Beck which was the subject of an Environment Agency report in 2016 following the flood in December 2015 which flooded 11 houses of the 197 total because there are a further 19 that are at risk of being flooded if the flow increases any more. Warcop is a village with virtually no footways and I am concerned following 2 accidents in the Village recently caused by diversions off the A66, that children will not be safe walking to or from School during the construction phase.
