TWO flood alerts will remain active across the Lake District this weekend.

The Environment Agency said the alerts - the lowest level to be issued by their flood information service - will stay in force for Derwentwater, the upper River Derwent, Stonethwaite Beck, plus the Rivers Brathay, Rothay and Winster near Windermere.

A spokesman said: "Flooding of low lying footpaths, land and roads is possible.

"The forecast is dry and bright for today with further rain expected this evening so we will continue to closely monitor the situation."

Further updates will be provided on the Environment Agency's website on Saturday.
