    Residents of a flooded South Yorkshire village have been advised not to return home yet despite water levels falling.

    A clean-up operation is currently under way in Fishlake, where many villagers were evacuated from their homes.

    Doncaster Council said most roads in the area were still impassable due to the flooding and warned there was still a lot of deep standing water which "presents significant safety risks".

    There are currently 58 flood warnings in place across England.

    Fishlake church warden Peter Pridham said the situation in the village was fundamentally stable but there was still a risk to farms on the outskirts.

    He called on members of the public to continue donating food and money for the relief effort.
