The flood warning for Gog Brook in Warwick has been lifted, but a flood alert remains in place for the wider area.

The warning - posted on the Gov.uk website - was issued in the early hours of Monday morning (December 4), with locals warned there was a threat to properties.

It was extended into Tuesday, before being lifted later in the day.

Now a flood alert for Middle Avon Rugby to Bidford is in place.

"River levels are high but steady at the Rugby river gauge as a result of heavy rainfall," the alert says.

"Consequently, the risk of flooding remains.
