Flood Warning Info - River Calder at Todmorden from the Cricket Ground to the Railway Bridge

However, levels are not expected to get as high as they did yesterday, Saturday 23 November. Impacts remain possible in the Todmorden, Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd areas into Sunday morning. The A646 Halifax Road is currently closed due to flooding. Flooding of roads and low lying land remains possible from rivers and surface water.
