Doncaster flood warnings remain in place despite River Don levels dropping

An Environment Agency spokesman said: “Levels on the River Don are continuing to fall and will do so throughout today.

"However, river levels are still elevated and so the warning remains in force.

“Please take care when near washlands and low-lying land, which could be flooded. Avoid using low-lying footpaths near local watercourses, and do not drive through floodwater.

Five flood warnings - where flooding is expected – are in place along the Don at Braithwaite, Fishlake, South Bramwith, Thorpe in Balne and Trumfleet.

Two flood alerts – where flooding is possible – remain on the Lower River Don catchment and River Went catchment.

Three flood warnings have been removed in the last 24 hours for the Ea Beck catchment, the Middle River Don catchment and the River Dearne catchment.
