Residents are being told to 'act now'
More than TWENTY flood warnings are in place across Lancashire this morning following a New Year's Eve deluge as torrential rain continues to batter the region.
It comes after the Met Office issued a fresh amber weather warning for rain with up to 100mm of rain expected in some areas. The downpours have resulted in several closures on major roads including the M65, Bilsborrow Lane in Inglewhite and Whalley Road in Sabden. The amber warning has been put in place across parts of North-West England until 9am on New Year’s Day. It states that heavy rain is “likely to lead to disruption including flooding in some locations” with a chance some places could see more than 10cm of rain.

It is accurate as of 7am on Wednesday:Flood warning area: Properties on Altys Lane, Statham Lane, Brook Lane, Dyers Lane, the Tennis Club, Hallsall Lane, Cottage Lane, Asmall Lane, The Reeds, Cotton Drive, Brookhouse Road, Sanfield Close, Southport Road, Courtfield and Hurlston Drive.
