Storm Babet Update

After a very busy week on the ground for our teams and partners following Storm Babet, we hope the worst of Storm Babet has now passed.

Some roads still remain closed, but keep up to date with our webpage.

We are monitoring the situation and ready to respond if needed.

Flood Updates

A number of roads remain closed across Doncaster due to flood water, below are some images of how the roads looks today (Friday 27 October).

Once the floodwaters clear, our teams will inspect the roads closely to ensure they are safe and they will be opened up as quickly as possible but in some cases repairs may be needed to ensure the road is safe for motorists to use.

We know some cars had to be abandoned due to the flooding we saw last week.

If you had to leave your vehicle please get in touch with us to arrange recovery as soon as you can. This will help us to open up our roads safely and as soon as possible.
