Here’s the latest on the floods in our area, as more rain hits the region from Storm Christoph.
As we reported yesterday, City of York Council has put up flood barriers and walkways in York in anticipation of the river levels rising.
And they have a Covid-safe evacuation plan for riverside residents, should the worst happen.
Flood updates are available from City of York Council here and from the Environment Agency here.
There are three flood warnings for York and 17 for the North Yorkshire.
