or...Cockermouth Floods Aftermath: 4 weeks on
Submitted by ColinW on 16th December 2009
Cockermouth is no longer headline/front page news and the misguided perception of the public at large seems to be that things are pretty much back to normal (if comments made to me by people from outside the area are anything to go by).
This is my small attempt to redress the balance and show the scale of the damage and disruption to people's homes and livelehoods and why it will take many months or even years before a full recovery is made

Beyond The 2009 Confluence Crisis
Thankyou Colin for this reality check, 4 weeks beyond The Confluence Crisis. We will need more music and creative reflections on these events to help us move forward together. But before we can move forward, we still have a lot more cleaning up to do! Then somehow we must accept that the natural forces which have created the landscape that we inhabit, are still at work and have been re-energised in ways that we are as yet only beginning to understand. I would like to invite more creative contributions to the Riversmeet site to begin to form a living archive to help us all to come to a better understanding of what has happened and to begin to understand what this means for the future of our town.
