Nidd, Ure, Crimple and Knaresborough caravan park on flood alert
Nine flood alerts and warnings are in force this morning across the Harrogate district as persistent rain causes river levels to rise to dangerous levels.
Notorious flooding location Knaresborough caravan park and Goldsborough mill farm were put on the more severe 'warning' level during the night.
The warning says "flooding of property, roads and land in Knaresborough is possible today" as Nidd river levels are expected to continue to rise. It adds:
Roecliffe caravan park, near Boroughbridge, is identified as the most vulnerable location in an overnight warning for the River Ure, which says:
Ure near Ripon
An alert was put in place for the lower Ure, just east of Ripon city centre, overnight. An update just before 4am this morning says:
An alert was also activated overnight for the River Crimple, near Follifoot, and its tributaries including Horn Beck, Clark Beck, Hookstone Beck, Rud Beck, Toad Hole Beck and Park Beck.
It warns flooding of low-lying land and roads is possible.
Nidd risk
There is widespread risk along the River Nidd.
Alerts were issued yesterday afternoon for the river just above and below Pateley Bridge. Last night a warning was put in place for around Hunsingsore and Cattal.
Alerts for the lower and middle catchment areas of the Nidd also remain in force.
More heavy rain is expected today and tomorrow morning.
