Timely reminder appears on huge Leeds billboard after large ball of wet wipes causes flooding
A huge billboard seen by thousands when entering Leeds city centre has been adorned with a timely message following flooding caused by wet wipes and concrete.
The billboard, which is situated just before the railway bridge on Whitehall Road East, has a timely message for residents heading into the city centre - thanks to Yorkshire Water.
It says: "Flushable wipes block pipes," in huge white letters, flanked by traffic warning-style graphics.
The huge blue signage stands out in the dark night sky due to the fact it is backlit.
And the message shouldn't be lost on residents of the city, after a large ball of wet wipes contributed to the flooding of a street this morning.
The sign is part of Yorkshire Water's current campaign aimed at discouraging people from flushing such objects down their toilets.
Great timing!
