A multi-agency operation remains in place at Parton this morning due to fears of a potential landslip.

Around a dozen properties in Parton were evacuated overnight following concerns about the impact of the weather on the surrounding landscape and the potential effect on homes.

Cumbria Police has confirmed that site visits and assessments will take place later today to find out if it is safe for those who were evacuated to return to their homes.

Further updates will be provided when more information is available.
