River levels are now returning to normal as rainfall eases.
No further flooding to fields and roads is expected, however there may be standing water seen for several days.
We will continue to monitor the forecast and re-issue this alert/warning if necessary.
Continue to take care on waterside roads and footpaths and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger.
Stay away from floodwater - it contains hidden dangers such as open manhole covers, sewage and chemicals.
