Pictures show flooding in Wortley and Pudsey as heavy rain hits Leeds

Jordan Denny and Nicola Furbisher took the photographs this afternoon.

There is a flood warning in place at Pudsey Beck which reads: "River levels have risen as a result of the recent persistent rainfall. Consequently, flooding of property and roads is expected. Areas most at risk are Tyersal and Pudsey Beck. Further rainfall is forecast over the next 12 hours. We expect river levels to remain high until throughout the rest of today (06/02/2021) and into tomorrow. Our incident response staff are closely monitoring the forecast and checking defences. Please move possession and valuables off the ground or to safety and avoid contact with flood water. This message will be updated by 19:30 on 06/02/21 or as the situation changes."

River levels at the Keeper Lane crossing in the valley bottom are extremely high - as seen in Nicola's picture.

In Wortley, the lower ring road has also flooded due to the heavy rainfall.

Pictures sent to the YEP show the road under a large amount of water, with river levels expected to continue to rise.
