WATCH: The latest from Glenridding after a night of more flooding

Heavy rain overnight has brought more flooding to Glenridding, just four days after it was devastated by Storm Desmond.

Emergency services and even members of the military spent the night there trying to divert the torrents of water away from homes and businesses after the river once again burst its banks.

Members of the public are being warned by police though to stay away - even though they might be desperate to help.
