Anxious Doncaster residents have been keeping a close eye on the River Don today – but as the river peaked this morning, homes remained dry.

Experts were predicting the flow would peak at 10am, and so far, areas vulnerable to recent flooding have remained clear. There is a high tide this evening.

Craig Wingford, of Yarborough Terrace, Bentley, flooded in 2019 and 2007, said it had been an anxious night. He looked at the river level last night and water was touching the first bank. But this morning it had been close to the top.
