An investigation is starting into this year's flooding in North Yorkshire.

The County Council, Yorkshire Water and Environment Agency will be looking at why parts of Malton flooded last month and investigating the problems caused by September's heavy rain, which left a bill of £3million.

They will also look at how agencies responded and worked together.

The findings will help form a long-term flood risk strategy for the county.
