Environment Agency advice issued
There is no longer a threat of flooding. We do not expect to see similar impacts from the next high tide. Although tide levels will remain high until Thursday, wind conditions are improving and there is reduced risk as a result. 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.
