Storm Henk: Yorkshire flood warnings remain in place

St George's Field car park in York has flooded

More than 30 flood warnings are in place across Yorkshire following heavy rainfall caused by Storm Henk.

Roads through the village of Naburn near York have been closed and there are reports that properties in nearby Sutton upon Derwent have been flooded.

In York, the Environment Agency said it was monitoring water levels along the River Ouse.

A number of vehicles have been abandoned in flood water in the city's St George's Field car park.

Tourist attraction York Dungeon is shut after water got into the building on Clifford Street.

In Sutton upon Derwent some properties have been flooded and Main Street continues to be closed.

Geoff Lovatt, who has lived in the village for 25 years, said every room in his newly decorated house had flooded.

He managed to grab a few belongings and he and his wife are going to stay with his son.

"I'm sad. I don't know what's going to come next or how long we are going to be out of our house," he said.

"It was our dream little cottage. I'm 81 in February. I don't need this."

In Naburn, three of the roads through the village are shut, after firefighters had to rescue a family from their car when they got stuck in flood water on Monday.

Villager Anne Clarke said that better warning signs were needed to stop vehicles getting into difficulties.

"You can waste a lot of time driving two or three miles down those routes with a flood at the end that you can't get through," she said.

"So we really need better signage for non-locals and locals alike to know how they can get in and out of the village safely."

Water pumps are being used in Tadcaster and in East Yorkshire, where parts of Beverley Westwood are flooded.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council said it was "aware of a number of instances of flooded roads across the area".

It warned people not to drive through flood water.

In the village of Arram in East Yorkshire, farmer Fiona Wilson said 75% of her land was underwater.

She described the situation as "dire" and said the water would damage the grazing land for her cattle.

"It's extremely frustrating," she said.

"We're going to lose so much money. We're zooming through our winter feed at the moment and it's going to cost us a fortune next year."

She added: "We'd like to see the Environment Agency actually explain why they have this no dredge policy."

"We can't see why, if the drains aren't improved, the water would flow better and it would help alleviate some of the flooding we have here."

An Environment Agency spokesperson said: "We understand the concerns of farmers in East Yorkshire and work closely with partner organisations to minimise the impacts of flooding wherever possible.

"We consider dredging as part of our work to protect people from the devastating impacts of flooding, however recent studies have shown that the benefits of dredging along the River Hull are limited".
