Flood-hit villagers told to leave their homes amid more 'danger to life' warnings

FLOOD-stricken residents hit by last week's deluge have been told to leave their homes as more 'danger to life' warnings were issued today.

Chief executive Damian Allen said: "We are concerned over reports that some residents remain in the Fishlake area. Mr Allen said a rest centre had been set up in nearby Stainforth, and the latest advice is that the Environment Agency does not expect flood waters in Fishlake to start to go down for at least the next 24 hours.

In a tweet, The Army also said a Chinook helicopter from the military's Joint Helicopter Command "will soon be on task with aggregate used for strengthening the flood defences protecting homes".

"It is the stories of volunteers, of neighbours and of friends often literally carrying each other through this time that I have found immensely uplifting." Five severe "danger to life" flood warnings, all along the River Don in Yorkshire, remained in place on Sunday, according to the Environment Agency.The Met Office already has yellow warnings for rain out for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
