Meanwhile, there's also a warning further downstream at Naburn Lock, where flooding of properties, gardens, roads and footpaths is possible.
A flood warning remains in place for the River Derwent in Stamford Bridge, at The Weir Caravan Park and Kexby Bridge, where river levels remain high due to recent rainfall.
