Flood warning in force in Morpeth

Posted by The Journal on Mar 31, 10 11:37 AM in News

A flood warning was in force on the River Wansbeck at Morpeth riverside and Bothal this morning as residents were bracing themselves for yet more downpours.

Up to three inches of rainwater fell on the North East's already saturated ground yesterday, with a similar amount forecast for today. The conditions caused flooding in low-lying areas of Morpeth and Rothbury as well as in Gateshead and Sunderland.

Extreme weather in Scotland caused a landslide on to the tracks between Dunbar and Berwick. Last night East Coast Main Line services were halted and bosses were considering replacement bus services.
