Flooding & Roads Update

I have attached below an email from the communications section at Durham County Council identifying those roads in the county affected by flooding. Most of our area in East Durham appears to be moving, if slowly, but there are flooding issues in Hutton Henry, Wingate, Easington Village & Peterlee amongst others.

If you have any flooding problems or other weather related issues please let me know as soon as possible on:

rob.crute@durham.gov.uk

Since Sunday night most of the region has had 30-50mm of rainfall with the highest being 71mm at Durham. Most parts of the NE will catch another 10-20mm of rainfall today.  Current guidance suggests the rain will clear away during the course of Tuesday evening to then leave a mostly dry night.

The Civil Contingencies Unit and Neighbourhood Services are responding to the many requests for help and support with all available resources deployed.

There are currently 4 schools closed across the County - Durham Trinity, Hutton Henry, Shield Row, Stanley and St Bedes, Lanchester

We are aware of properties being flooded in Langley Park, Coundon, Kimberley, Wingate and parts of Chester le Street and support has been provided to the residents, plus other properties which are at risk of flooding.  Riverside Park in Chester Le Street has also been closed.

The main issues are with flooded roads and listed below is the information we have on these.
