Camping and Caravanning Club to operate business as usual at unaffected sites across Cumbrian county
The Camping and Caravanning Club has announced that several of its sites in Cumbria will remain open for the Christmas period, despite recent devastating floods associated with Storm Desmond.
Following the recent flooding, the Club’s Keswick Club Site will remain closed whilst under refurbishment until 18 February 2015, however Eskdale and Windermere Club Sites join others in the South Lakeland and Copeland districts, which have been left unscathed by the intense rainfall that has led to flooding in the north of the county.
Bob Hill, the Club’s sites director, said: “In and around the south lakes region, our Eskdale, Windermere, Ravenglass and Braithwaite Fold Club Sites are still very much open for business and welcoming campers.
“It’s important to note that work is already taking place to restore the Club sites that were affected by flooding so campers can be reassured and welcomed at the earliest opportunity.”
In the event of further flooding, the Club says, rigorous and robust procedures remain in place and contingency plans to remove campers and caravanners to nearby sites or to amend bookings will be implemented.
