Firefighters Intervene After Storms Flood Scarborough Road

Sunday, 16 June 2024 09:00

By Andrew Snaith

Saturday's storms affected roads up and down the Yorkshire Coast, particularly in Scarborough.

North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue were called to Hackness Road just after 3pm, which was one of those worst affected.

One of the officers inspected flooding in the area and arranged for a road closure to be put in place to prevent any drivers becoming stuck in flood water, if the water continued to rise.

A crew from Scarborough also attended and cleared a nearby drain to pump rain water away from housing using a light portable pump. 

Peasholm Park was also badly hit with flood water affecting the nearby A171 and spilling across towards the open air theatre.

We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
