Flood defences installed after the 2007 deluge in South Yorkshire have been credited with helping save communities in Rotherham and Barnsley from worse flooding over the past 24 hours, according to council leaders.

Rotherham saw problems in the Bridgegate area of the town centre, around the Parkgate retail centre, Catcliffe and Laughton Common, with problems also reported at Whiston.

Council leader Chris Read said measures put in place after the 2007 floods had helped protect the town.

“Fortunately, the impact on residential properties seems to be minimal, which was the priority,” he said.

“My instinct is that improvements after 2007 helped to prevent it from being worse.”

In Barnsley, it is believed flood defences also helped minimise the impact.

Council leader Sir Steve Houghton said no-one had been evacuated from their homes, though about 49 properties had flooded.

“We had measures put in place and ready to go," he said.

The Met Office has issued a rainfall map showing the extent of the recent rainfall over South Yorkshire.

Yesterday’s severe weather saw 64mm of rainfall in Sheffield, the equivalent of a month's worth, which contributed to the third wettest November day on record for South Yorkshire.

Water levels were equivalent to those in 2007, the last time the area experienced significant flooding, according to the Environment Agency.

But Sheffield City Council says no-one needed to be evacuated from their homes and things are getting back to normal in the city.

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue says its crews have responded to more than 1,200 calls over the past 28 hours and rescued more than 120 people.

Deputy Chief Fire Officer Alex Johnson says the main focus has now moved from the Sheffield and Rotherham areas and most of its efforts are now in the Doncaster area:

Yorkshire Water say it has 140 jet vans out cleaning sewers in South Yorkshire.

People living in the Bentley and Scawthorpe areas have been advised to evacuate their homes, with Doncaster Council warning there is an "imminent risk" of flooding.

About 3,000 properties in total have been affected by flooding in the whole of Doncaster, the EA has said.

However, that does not mean they have been flooded and most of those affected will be problems with access, the agency adds.

The EA says it's working with the council, police and fire services and has "teams on the ground" maintaining pumping stations, checking flood defences and clearing blockages.

Doncaster Council says there is now an "imminent risk" of flooding and has urged people living in the following streets to leave their property:

• Bentley Road
• Grove Avenue
• Fisher Terrace
• Riviera Parade
• Riviera Mount
• Hunt Lane
• Yarborough Terrace

A council spokesperson said: "Residents in these areas are being informed by police, fire and rescue and council officers to evacuate their homes and they are being supported to do so.

"Rest centres are in place for those affected who are unable to stay with friends and family."

The council said the evacuation notice in Kirk Sandall has now been stood down, though residents are advised to remain vigilant.

People living in Bentley have been "dragging sandbags through floodwater" to put them outside their homes as flood levels rise.

Residents on Yarborough Terrace are trying to shore up their properties as the water level rises.

David Geczi is a director of wholesaler Centurion, whose warehouse is based at the end of the street nearest to the River Don.

"We've not really heard or seen from the Environment Agency and had no real information from the council," he said.

"I do generally think the council hasn't handled it well enough - they should've done what they've done quicker.

"They've not sandbagged until this morning, which is just totally wrong because people have now had to drag them through flood water.

"It was bad enough 12 years ago but whether the council have learned their lessons who knows. Yes it's an act of God, we all know that, but we've had time to do things about it.

"For the people round here, they've not done anything for them."

The Environment Agency say river levels on the River Don at Doncaster are "peaking" but have warned they will stay "very high for several hours".

Earlier today the river hit its highest recorded level at just over 6.3m, which is higher than it was in 2007 when it also flooded.

According to the Environment Agency the river is expected to peak at 6.32m within the next two hours.

Adrian Gill, flood manager with the Environment Agency said: "The river levels are peaking in Doncaster but we're expecting them to stay very high for several hours and that is causing a lot of disruption and there's some over-topping which has caused some risk to properties."

There are six severe "threat to life" flood warnings still in place as water from the Upper Don catchment makes its way into the River Don.
