It comes as heavy rain continues to affect the city in the wake of Storm Angus.

Widespread heavy rain and showers are forecast for most parts of England over the next 36 hours and could cause river and surface water flooding, the Environment Agency said.

People living in Yorkshire and the Humber have also been warned to expect 40-50mph gusts, a Met Office spokesman said.
