River levels have dropped below Flood Alert levels at the Stinsford river gauge on the Lower Frome. There is no longer a threat of flooding, though standing water and debris may still remain. There may still be some areas where flood water is present until it can naturally drain away. 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. Stay away from floodwater - it contains hidden dangers such as open manhole covers, sewage and chemicals. Don't put yourself or others at risk.
