Hi, hope you dont mind me asking. Thinking of having a run over to Scarborough/Filey tomorrow (Tuesday 5th), daughters 18th BirthdayWill be travelling from Rotherham, but just wondered if we may encounter any flooded areas on the way?. We usually do M18, off at Howden. Any info much appreciated. Thankyou
Hi, two useful websites that may help - http://www.bbc.co.uk/england/webcams/traffic/
start by selecting South Yorkshire, then click on areas through which you intend to travel - clickable icons show where problems are...

scroll the map to the area, zoom in/out as required, click on map layers and select which items suit....

We have just returned from a weekend break staying in a Scarborough town centre hotel. We had very few problems on Sunday for the outward journey M1, M18, M62, A614, A165 and along the coastal road into Scarborough. Quite a lot of the seafront is closed down for winter, and theres evidence of resent storms overtopping the south bay beaches with sand on the roads everywhere.
There were however a few problems along the A165 today, single file wading traffic in places with the council trying to pump away the water around Filey near the junction just before Gristhorpe, and failing miserably as more water was pouring out of the drains faster than they could pump the flood away. The only positive thing was the ease of parking, the Seafronts were almost bare of parked cars, and you could park in tge town centre with ease.
Woops, edited to add l have just realised my post may have been posted a little too late to be useful!
