Flood Warning Info - Oakenshaw Beck at Agbrigg

Flooding is expected in this area. This means properties are at risk of flooding. Please take action to protect yourself and your property and monitor local weather and river conditions. Avoid contact with, walking or driving through flood water. Consider activating any property flood protection products you may have. Environment Agency Flood Warning Officers set the river or tidal levels that have triggered this message. During industrial action this message has been automatically issued based on rising river or tidal levels.

River levels have risen as a result of persistent (heavy) rainfall. Consequently, flooding of property, roads and farmland is possible between midnight and mid-morning on Monday 21/02/2022. Areas most at risk are properties along Oakenshaw at Agbrigg. No significant rainfall is forecast over the next 24 hours, but we expect river levels to remain high throughout Monday morning 21/02/2022. We are closely monitoring the situation and our incident response staff are checking defences. Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses. This message will be updated by 08:20 tomorrow morning, 21/02/2022, or as the situation changes.

River levels remain high but are now falling following persistent heavy rainfall due to Storm Ciara. Whilst further showers are forecast throughout today, 10/02/20, we do not expect these to cause significant impacts to river levels, which should continue to fall. Consequently we expect the risk of flooding to reduce throughout the day, and will review the continuing need for this warning once the river drops below levels of concern. To report flooding impacts, please call our incident hotline on 0800 80 70 60. We continue to closely monitor the situation from our incident room. Please see GOV.UK for a 5 day flood forecast, plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded, and avoid contact with flood water. We will update this message by 12:00 10/02/20, or as the situation changes.
