    Danny Leake, who lives in Gowdall, near Snaith, said his property started to become inundated with water on Tuesday night.

    "Our kitchen's down in the cellar and [the flood water is] all the way up to the ceiling. We kept getting told it wasn't going to flood but it did."

    He said he had received no assistance and had asked for sandbags only to be told "don't worry it's reached it peak, it's not going to get any deeper and then the next thing my kitchen's up to the ceiling".

    "We didn't even get a text or an email to say that we were going to get flooded... I mean we get texts all the time when it's not even going to flood but when we actually needed them they've been nowhere, so we've still not heard a thing."

  14. Villagers asked to leave their homes over flood threatpublished at 10:30 Greenwich Mean Time 28 February 2020

    People living in East Cowick were advised to leave their homes overnight as water levels rose in flooded fields around the East Yorkshire village.

    flooded water

    A number of properties in the area and nearby Snaith have already flooded.

    Frank De Planta, from the Environment Agency, said: "The flooding is caused by washlands, which hold vast amounts of water coming down the River Aire, overspilling into Snaith and East Cowick.

    "We're now trying to protect as many properties as possible from flooding, by diverting the water away from untouched properties with sandbag operations.

    "What we have to do now is wait for gravity to do its job - the only way the washlands will empty is when the River Aire is lower than those washlands."

    Seven flood warnings remain in place in the area at Gowdall, Hirst Courtney, Hirst Marsh, Snaith, Temple Hirst, West Cowick and East Cowick., external
