MOTORISTS experienced driving difficulties on both Friday and Saturday as roads across the district flooded.
North Yorkshire Police were contacted on numerous occasions with reports of floods on the main A659 between Otley and Pool-in-Wharfedale, on the A658 before the bends at Huby and between the two North Rigton turnings, at Crag Lane, and on the road between Timble and Fewston.
A spokesman for North Yorkshire Police said: "We received a phone call on Friday evening from a woman who said the A658 was flooded but when our officers went out, they decided it was not causing too much of a problem.
"However, later the same evening another police officer was called out and he then contacted North Yorkshire County Council, who put out flood signs."
