Flooding

The Environment Agency are anticipating further heavy rainfall tonight and so please be aware of the risk of flooding and be prepared. 

They have an excellent website with updates HERE

Incident rooms have opened in Newcastle, York and Leeds and their field teams are out on the ground clearing blockages and operating pumps. There are a number of flood warnings in place including for the Pont.

Do be careful and if the weather gets worse don't make non essential journeys - they really aren't worth it.
