The Environment Agency said that river levels are "high but steady" in the areas above as a result of heavy rainfall.

"Consequently, the risk of flooding remains," they added.

"River levels are falling, but still pose a flood risk.

"We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are actively checking river levels and the weather forecast.

"Please avoid using low lying footpaths and bridges near local watercourses."
