Stony Lane has reopened and residents have been allowed back into their homes after fears eased of a rain-filled pond in Allerton spilling its contents.

Traffic started flowing again on Wilsden Road, Haworth Road and Cottingley Road yesterday and Stony Lane has now reopened.

Emergency services have been at the scene pumping out excess water and lowering levels even more.

Assessments were carried out by council officials and it was decided that 15 evacuated residents could go back into their homes.
