FLOOD alerts are in place for parts of the Bradford district today.

The alerts have been issued by the Environment Agency for the Upper River Aire Catchment Area, and some of the most at-risk areas include the stretch of the river from Gargrave to Stockbridge, including Eshton Beck, Eller Beck and Silsden Beck

The GOV.UK website said that flooding is “possible” in these areas, and encouraged people to keep an eye on local water levels and weather conditions

“Avoid using low lying footpaths or entering areas prone to flooding. Start acting on your flood plan if you have one,” it added.

“The Environment Agency Flood Warning System has issued this message based on rising river or tidal levels. We are temporarily automating our messages due to industrial action.”

For advice, people can call Floodline on 0345 988 1188 or text 0345 602 6340.
