Sheffield flooding: Woman "worried" as heavy rainfall leaves road flooded

Athol Road was hit severely by rain last night, with Yorkshire Water attending to help clear the water late into the evening.

One resident told the Yorkshire Post she was “getting worried” when the rain arrived and used social media to alert Yorkshire Water.

In a tweet, she said: “Never seen my road this bad before.”

Elsewhere in Sheffield, the following roads are still closed: Station Rd, Halfway, Sheffield Beaver Hill Rd, Handsworth, Sheffield Rother Valley Way, Mosborough, Sheffield Long Acre Way, Mosborough, Sheffield

There is no indication when these roads will be open at present.

Police said: “Please use alternative routes and travel safe.”
