正文(英文) | Press release Environment Agency working day and night to reduce flood impactEnvironment Agency is working to reduce impact of flooding across parts of northern England following heavy persistent rain. Heavy downpours across large parts of northern England have led to surface water and river flooding in parts of Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Greater Manchester, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire. River levels peaked in Sheffield and Rotherham overnight and are now starting to fall there, but they are still high in the Doncaster area, with further flood impacts anticipated over the coming 24 hours as water travels downstream. As at 1pm (Friday 8 November) there are six severe flood warnings in South Yorkshire with a threat to life, 75 flood warnings and 103 flood alerts. The Environment Agency continue to respond to the flood risk and are working closely with police, fire and rescue, local authorities and partners to reduce the risk of flooding and keep communities safe. On the ground, Environment Agency field teams worked through the night to operate flood storage areas and pump away flood water. Into the weekend, the situation in northern England will improve. However bands of rain or heavy showers will fall on saturated ground across parts of south and west of England at times bringing a risk of minor surface water flooding. Chris Wilding, Flood Duty Manager at the Environment Agency said:
The public can check their flood risk and keep up to date with the latest situation, or by calling Floodline on 0345 988 1188 or following @EnvAgency on Twitter. Notes to editors:
