Explaining the situation in the city, he said: “In York, there are two sets of flood defences: the flood defences on the [River] Ouse which have worked and then the flood defences on the River Foss which weren’t able to work and that’s why there has been the flooding that there has been”. Shoppers in those areas are also less likely to hit the high streets in the wake of the floods.

The Environment Agency has also said it does not expect either of York’s rivers to peak until Monday.
The effects of flooding across the north of England could ripple as far as the FTSE 100 after a post-Christmas slow down and increasing cost of damage caused by rising waters. According to the Environment Agency “The current level at York is 4.2m and expected to reach 4.8m to 5m tomorrow morning”.
We of course owe a debt of gratitude to all the staff and volunteers from the City of York Council, the emergency services, Environment Agency, armed forces and voluntary organisations, for the hard work they have put in (and continue to do with the clean up) to try to minimise the impact of the floods and assist those affected.
“The decision has been taken to lift the Foss Barrier, as if it fails in the down position, water will be unable to discharge into the River Ouse”.
“We are asking people to be aware of the risk at the moment, and even just a few hours rain could severely affect the water levels”.
Environment Secretary Liz Truss said the priority for the Government at the moment was protecting lives and people’s homes and properties.
“We are working with the fire service and most of the properties affected by flooding have been pumped out now”, he said.
Ms Truss said: “It is increasingly clear that so-called “unprecedented” weather events are here to stay”.
