Flood town is given the all-clear

All of the three severe flood warnings issued by the Environment Agency for North Yorkshire have been withdrawn.

Several homes and roads in Pickering were flooded on Saturday after the local beck burst its banks. Fire crews were called to pump out houses.

But the Environment Agency has now given the area the all-clear.

Flood warnings are still in place across the county, but the worst of the weather is thought to have passed with heavy rain replaced by showers.

Flood warnings still in place across the county include the River Ouse at York, the River Swale at Helperby, Kirby Wiske and Myton on Swale and the River Ure at Aldwark Bridge, Langthorpe and Roecliffe Caravan Park.
