Flooding and weather situation: latest.

Rain has eased & now almost stopped in the east of Moray, but radar suggests it’s still moving west, although reducing in intensity.

Water levels in the east are beginning to drop & we hope to start re-opening roads from about 1pm once they are checked for damage.

The Buckie Burn appears to be stable and is expected it to stay within its banks.

Dallas is accessible by road, although there is a closure near Hatton due to a minor field washout. A diversion is being put in place.

Pumping has taken place in the Lossie Green car park, Elgin to disperse surface water.

Levels are beginning to drop across the area, so no further problems are anticipated.

Motorists are advised there is a lot of gravel & debris on the roads, which will take some time to clear. Care should be taken meantime.
