Twenty flood warnings remain in place across Lincolnshire as we enter a period of drier and colder weather.

However, Lincolnshire Resilience Forum says that thankfully, the situation across the county is improving and flood water is starting to recede.

More than 20 have been removed in the last 35 hours, but the Forum warns it will take time for the water levels to return to normal as water works its way through the waterways.

All agencies continue to monitor the situation and support residents in certain areas where there are still concerns.

Road closures are rapidly being lifted but where they are still in place it is advised motorists do not drive through them.

Temperatures are expected to fall below zero from 3pm every day until the weekend and driving conditions are likely to be challenging, so motorists are advised to drive to the conditions.

If you have to travel, plan and know your route and consider alternative routes if needs be.
