Flood warning

This flood warning remains in force following a significant breach of the left bank of the Aire and Calder Navigation near the River Don at New Bridge. Flooding of properties and roads is expected. The area most at risk is East Cowick. We understand that flood waters are already impacting the area and we expect some property flooding in areas closest to the drains. We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are liaising with the Local Authorities and the Canals and Rivers Trust in order to manage the situation. Please plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers and the canal, which may be flooded, and avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses. This message will be updated by 09:05 or as the situation changes.
