Cumbria Police are helping residents in some parts of Keswick and Appleby to evacuate their homes and travel to a local reception centre.

Cumbria Police said they and mountain rescue teams were helping to take people from their homes to the centre in a local school.

They added that all roads surrounding Keswick are now closed, having been badly affected by the flooding – especially the A66.

In a statement they said: “Motorists are advised not to travel unless absolutely necessary as it would pose a major risk to personal safety and the safety of other members of the public.”
