CLEAN-UP work has begun in Notts after heavy rain brought flash flooding across the county.
Notts Police issued a warning this morning, saying pockets of standing water are still causing a danger on numerous roads.
Drivers are being urged to take care and be aware that in some areas damage has been caused to drain covers, leaving debris in the road.
Southwell was particularly badly hit yesterday, with over 50 houses affected by the rising water.
An advice centre will be opened at Southwell Town Hall, The Burgage, Southwell, later today for those who need flood related advice or assistance.
People who have been working in flood water are also being reminded that hand washing is essential afterwards.
The A612 remains closed this morning between Southwell and Thurgaton to enable urgent clean-up operations to take place.
Council staff have been working through the night to clear the road, and drivers are asked to take an alternative route.
A tree has also fallen in Cundy Hill at Southwell and diversions are in place.
