Paper products company James Cropper says its factory in Burneside, Cumbria, suffered damage from flooding caused by Storm Desmond. 

The group said some damage was caused to warehouses and materials, but added emergency action at the site limited the impact.

I've been to the Old Fire Station in Cumbria which is now used as a venue for many things, including art.

At the moment, however, it houses mud and a very wet floor.

Most of the homes left without power after severe flooding hit parts of the UK over the weekend have been reconnected, energy firms say. 

Power has been restored to all but 1,047 homes in Cumbria.

However, people are being urged to use power "sparingly" because the network is not yet at full capacity.

Residents flooded out of their homes in the Warwick Road area of Carlisle fear their homes may now be unsaleable.

Higher dykes were built along the River Petteril as part of £38m worth of defences built after the floods of 2005, but they were overtopped.

June and John Robinson, who live in Greystone Road with their dog Rosie, had put the house on the market because they wanted to move to a bungalow. It will now need extensive repairs.

"There's not a cat in hell's chance anyone's going to buy it," June said. 

Alan Hargreaves, who also lives in Greystone Road, shares her fears, saying: "It could happen again in a couple of months time with the way the rain comes these days."

Trains are able to travel on the West Coast Main Line again to Scotland after the track was submerged in floodwater outside Carlisle.

However, the Cumbrian coast line between Carlisle and Workington remains closed because of three landslides and two flooded sections of track.

There are still a number of severe incidents on the roads - find out the latest travel news here.

The people of Carlisle are worn out by this weekend's floods according to the city council leader.

Colin Glover, who has been volunteering at the Graystone centre off Warwick Road, says that he's seen the mood change as people get essential services at the centre.

Lee Fowler saw the well-known Pooley Bridge collapse on Sunday and said people were stood on the bridge when the first bricks fell.

He said: "Everybody started shouting 'she's going to go, she's going to go'.

"The first arch just sank in the middle. It was all over in 15-20 seconds."

The University of Cumbria is offering free hot-desking facilities for firms affected by the floods.

Carlisle United's Brunton Park was left under water, and now after a training session the squad has been helping victims of the flooding.

Captain Danny Grainger said: "The players are out and about lifting sofas, lifting carpets, anything that they need to do.

"We know there's families that need a little bit of extra help and we're more than happy to give that.

"It's upsetting at times, but for us to help out is nothing compared to what people need."

It's not yet known where the home game against Notts County will take place on 19 December.

People living in parts of Carlisle where new flood defences were breached say they did at least get more warning.

Rachel Lee, pictured here a flood reception centre, lives in Warwick Road and says early warnings meant she had time to move possessions upstairs.  

"It was good because last time the warning came through after we'd been flooded, so we laughed hysterically and said thank you very much, we're already under 4ft of water."

Still, even the benefit of experience did not entirely save her from the shock of the storm's force.  "I've got a very anarchic sense of humour, so I can laugh in the face of darkness. But when I went [to the house] this morning it was very much an 'oh, my goodness' moment."

There's a welcome mat at Brunton Park - although we're not sure if it belongs to the club as it sits next to a sodden mattress.

The Greystone Community Centre in Carlisle is run by Gareth Webber, who has just had his first night's sleep in three days.

He's now turning away offers of food, bedding and other supplies because there's simply no more room at the site.

"To be honest the spirit has been amazing. We had about 100 people to breakfast yesterday, and most of them are just getting on with it, as soon as they can get back into their houses. 

"But it's terrible for them, because it's second time around. The first people who turned up on Friday night, we recognised them."

BBC News presenter Christian Fraser is also in Carlisle and shot this footage:

The police say many roads in Cumbria are still not safe - but people are trying to use them.

They're particularly worried about Appleby Bridge and the Bridge at Middleton, between Sedbergh and Kirkby Lonsdale.

And the clean up of Hardwick Circus in Carlisle is continuing - it is not open. The #A592 at Bowness Marina is now passable with care.
