Residents in areas of Nottinghamshire that were worst-affected by overnight flooding have been told river levels are going down.

Some residents remain unable to return home, with 54 having been evacuated in Worksop. Many are staying with family and friends and the town's leisure centre is no longer required as a rest centre.

Meanwhile a number of homes remain evacuated in Mansfield following a landslide on Thursday night, although some residents have been able to return home.

Nottinghamshire Police confirmed 23 properties remain evacuated and 24-hour security remains on-site.

Power is still out for more than 200 homes, but this is expected to be returned once the water drops to a safe level.

A number of roads still remain closed.

Ch Insp Claire Rukas said: “Worksop town centre still remains under a lot of flood water with many of the roads still impassable.

“However, as there is no longer the same threat to life as there was overnight, we will be taking down our cordons and the roads closures will be dealt with by the highways agency as business as usual.

“Mansfield still remains a concern and partners are working on making sure the area is safe for residents to return home.”

River levels are slowly receding, with rain expected only intermittently across the weekend.

However, the force said temperatures could fall to zero, with the freezing conditions potentially impacting on driving conditions.
