North Yorkshire Council’s Highways department have also closed Norton Road (also known as Blackboards) to vehicular traffic as a safety precaution, to allow pedestrians to safely move along the road between Malton and Norton.

A statement on the North Yorkshire Police – Ryedale Facebook page read: “This decision is not taken lightly and is to be reassessed by NYC on Tuesday Morning dependant on the current river levels.”
