The flood forecast has changed significantly. As a result, there is no longer a risk of flooding in the area.
Weather conditions are expected to improve and no further flooding is expected. Rainfall overnight was less than expected.
We will continue to monitor the situation and will issue further alerts or warnings if necessary.
Continue to take care on waterside roads and footpaths and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger. Never drive through flood water, just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car.
