Environment Agency questioned over Helston flood defence scheme

The effectiveness of a £2 million flood prevention scheme for Helston has been called into question after parts of the Penrose Estate were left under four feet of water – just weeks after a councillor claimed the town came close to an absolute flooding disaster. However, the Environment Agency has said the defences are working as they should be and has denied there is a problem.  It is after a weekend of heavy rainfall at the start of last week resulted in flooding around the area of Loe Pool and Degibna. A bridge normally passable on foot was left submerged, with one runner telling the Packet how he had to turn back after water reached his knees and was still getting deeper.

This ship was launched from Plymouth in 1781 and it fought in the Battle of Saintes near Dominica in 1782. It was subsequently strengthened and took part in the Napoleonic Wars. In 1807 it met its end when it broke its anchorage in Mount’s Bay and ran aground not far from Loe Bar. More than 120 sailors lost their lives and a memorial, commemorating their loss was erected at the south end of Loe Bar in 1949. The cannons which currently stand in Porthleven Harbour were salvaged from this ship in 1961.
