Flood Alert for River Esk Catchment and Upper Derwent

The Flood Warnings that were in place for parts of the Yorkshire Coast have now been removed by the Environment Agency although flood alerts remain in place for the River Esk Catchment and the Upper River Derwent.

The Environment agency removed the flood warnings overnight but say a flood alert for the River Esk from Briggswath to Ruswarp remains in force. They say that river levels have peaked and are falling, with no further rise forecasted.

However the Agency warns that 

"flooding of property, roads and farmland remains possible. Areas most at risk are Church Street between Castleton and Danby, and the Moors National Park Centre between Lodge Lane and Lawns Road. The weather is forecast to remain unsettled with wintry showers for the next couple of days, rainfall totals are expected to be low. Please avoid walking or driving through flood water"

The Environment Agency say the flood alert for the Upper Derwent also remains in force following the heavy rainfall and that flooding of property roads and farmland is expected. The areas most at risk are low lying land and roads around the Low Marishes and Malton area.
