This is an archived message. The status has changed more recently.
The Severe Flood warning has now been removed. However, a Flood Alert remains in force for the wider area, so flooding of roads and low lying land is still possible.
Weather conditions are expected to improve and no further flooding is expected. A Flood Warning is still in place
We will continue to monitor the situation and will issue further alerts or warnings if necessary.
If you have been evacuated only return to your property once the emergency services have advised that it is safe to do so. Never drive through flood water, just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car. A flood warning is still in place.
