Warning no longer in force

River levels have now fallen below the flood risk threshold. The Flood Warning for the area has now been removed. However, a Flood Alert remains in force for the wider area, so flooding may still affect roads and low lying land.
We continue to monitor the situation. Our incident response staff are liaising with emergency services.
Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.
