South Yorkshire residents evacuated after Storm Babet flooding

Local residents in Catcliffe near Rotherham have been evacuated due to severe flooding.

Emergency services were working to rescue about 250 people in the village.

One resident, who gave his name only as Steve, told Radio Sheffield: "We are hoping to be evacuated. All the cars on the road are floating. The water is halfway up the stairs."

Brad Jackson, who also lives in Catcliffe, said parts of the village were waist-deep in flood water.

He said: "Yesterday [Friday], you could walk around town and it was fine."

Storm Babet brought travel disruption, localised flooding, closures and cancellations across Yorkshire.
