New research has revealed that more than 12 per cent of Carlisle homes are at risk of flooding.

The data is based on information from the Environment Agency that estimates flood risk for homes, and uses historic flood data.

It has been narrowed down to a county, local authority and constituency level.

The analysis also reveals whether the local MPs in a given county have voted in favour or against legislation to combat climate change.

Data for Cumbria shows that one MP voted for legislation against combatting climate change and another voted against.

However, the information for the four remaining MPs was not disclosed.

The map also shows the percentage of properties at risk of flooding and those at high risk of flooding.

In Carlisle:

  • 0.48 per cent are at high risk
  • 12.38 per cent are at risk

In Allerdale:

  • 0.71 per cent are at high risk
  • 6.93 per cent are at risk

In Penrith and the Borders:

  • 1.24 per cent are at high risk
  • 6.52 per cent are at risk

In Copeland:

  • 0.61 per cent are at high risk
  • 8.73 per cent are at risk

In Westmorland and Lonsdale:

  • 3.26 per cent are at high risk
  • 12.07 are at risk

In Barrow:

  • 1.57 per cent are at high risk
  • 7.38 per cent at risk

The revelations come as Cumbria braced itself for Storm Jorge having already suffered at the hands of storms Ciara and Dennis.
