Firefighters from Bolton are in Lincolnshire as floods hit the area.

The high-volume pump from Bolton Central has been mobilised to Wainfleet, as part of the clear-up and emergency response.

Heavy rain in the area last week caused the River Steeping to burst its bank.

A total of 590 residents were evacuated from the area

And more heavy rain is predicted to lash part of the UK as flood-hit communities continue to clear-up.

Rain will also hit parts of North-West England, the Midlands and Wales, but will die out out by the evening, forecasters say.

In Wainfleet RAF Chinook helicopters dropped an additional 76 tonnes of sand and ballast in the area on Sunday after drafting in 270 one-tonne sandbags in an attempt to repair the bank on Friday.

A spokeswoman for Lincolnshire Police confirmed the number of people evacuated from the Wainfleet area stands at 590 as the clean-up operation continues.

Water pumps were drafted in.
