A 'welfare hub' has been opened in Keswick following the flooding.

It'll be at the Packhorse Inn, Packhorse Court, Keswick.

A statement from Allerdale Borough Council read: "Anyone in need of help or advice, or those simply wanting somewhere warm and dry to get food, drinks and company, is welcome. They will be able to speak to Allerdale Borough Council officers who can offer advice on environmental health, social services, housing, property services, benefits, homelessness and health, as well as council tax and business rate discounts.
 
"The centres also include representatives from other authorities and housing associations, and people will be also be able to do practical things like charge their mobile phones or pick up advice leaflets which show them what to do next.
 
"Our teams will also be out on the streets offering advice to those in need on issues like environmental health and dangerous structures.
 
"Because fewer properties are flooded out in Workington, Council officers are able to go door to door to ensure that every resident or business receives support.
 
"Advice and assistance is also available from the Council’s Customer Services officers on customer.service@allerdale.gov.uk or call 01900 702702 and on our website at www.allerdale.gov.uk . If emergency assistance is needed at night, the Council’s out-of-hours service will take the call."
