Major delay after floods at Grand Prix car park

Vehicles were being guided into the venue and Silverstone’s Woodlands Campsite will be operating a full wet weather plan for this weekend’s event.

The rain caused delayed journey times across Yorkshire. This was added to in Leeds after a fire broke out at a former bus station on one of the city’s main commuter roads.

Three fire engines and an aerial ladder unit were called out to tackle the fire in Kirkstall Road at rush hour at around 5.10pm yesterday.

Police were forced to close the road while fire crews tackled the blaze.
