Troydale Pudsey flooded as fire service on scene pumping water back into beck

The fire service are currently on scene helping to pump the water back into the beck nearby, local councillor Simon Seary said.

Residents are now using sandbags to create a temporary embankment to stop the beck flooding their homes.

The councillor posted: "Once aware of the potential flooding to properties, we contacted the fire brigade and they attended and pumped all the water back into the Beck, we are just securing some sand bags from Farmac Building Supplies who are kindly lending us their van and opening up to supply the sand, we will be creating a temporary embankment to stop the beck flooding the road, which causes the drains to block."

A flood warning is currently in place in the area.

It 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.
