Flood warning

The flood warning for the River Wharfe at Burley in Wharfedale remains in force. River levels have been dropping in the upper catchments, but are now rising due to local rainfall. Levels are not expected to rise much further or reach yesterday’s levels. We are not expecting large amounts of rainfall through today and expect to remove the flood warning later on. Areas at risk include Sports Pavilion, Crook Farm, properties off Coutances Way, Ilkley Road, Greenholme Trading Estate and Otley Road. Some properties near Wood Head Beck. The Sewage Works, Maple Bank Farm and some properties off Hag Farm Road. We are monitoring river levels closely. You should avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. Visit the GOV.UK website for a 5 day flood forecast and up to date river levels. This message will be updated later today, or as the situation changes.
