The crossing, close to Rufford Abbey, is known for crowds gathering to watch vehicles splash through
A ford, which has seen some of the highest flood rescues in England, has been closed for the foreseeable future.But the county council said an increase in incidents had led them to shut it completely for the safety of motorists and pedestrians.The ford is the location of some of the
Neil Clarke, cabinet member for transport and environment, said: "We know that Rufford Ford has become popular with locals and those from further afield, but we cannot stress enough that dangerous driving in this area cannot continue because it puts the safety of motorists and pedestrians at risk. "However due to the increase in incidents at Rufford Ford, we feel that the safest solution is to put a temporary Traffic Regulation Order in place while longer-term solutions can be developed further."

Frontiers | Associations between air pollution and multimorbidity in the UK Biobank: A cross-sectional studyBackground: Long-term exposure to air pollution concentrations is known to be adversely associated with a broad range of single non-communicable diseases, but its role in multimorbidity has not been investigated in the UK. We aimed to assess associations between long-term air pollution exposure and multimorbidity status, severity, and patterns using the UK Biobank cohort. Methods: Multimorbidity status was calculated based on 41 physical and mental conditions. We assessed cross-sectional associations between annual modelled particulate matter (PM)2.5, PMcoarse, PM10, and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations (μg/m3 – modelled to residential address) and multimorbidity status at the baseline assessment (2006-2010) in 364,144 people (mean age: 52.2±8.1 years, 52.6% female). Air pollutants were categorised into quartiles to assess dose-response associations. Among those with multimorbidity (≥2 conditions; n=156,395) we assessed associations between air pollutant exposure levels and multimorbidity severity and multimorbidity patterns, which were identified using exploratory factor analysis. Associations were explored using generalised linear models adjusted for sociodemographic, behavioural, and environmental indicators. Results: Higher exposures to PM2.5, and NO2 were associated with multimorbidity status in a dose-dependent manner. These associations were strongest when we compared the highest air pollution quartile (quartile 4: Q4) with the lowest quartile (Q1) [PM2.5: adjusted odds ratio (adjOR)=1.21 (95% CI=1.18, 1.24); NO2: adjOR=1.19 (95 % CI=1.16, 1.23)]. We also observed dose-response associations between air pollutant exposures and multimorbidity severity scores. We identified 11 multimorbidity patterns. Air pollution was associated with several multimorbidity patterns with strongest associations (Q4 vs Q1) observed for neurological (stroke, epilepsy, alcohol/substance dependency) [PM2.5: adjOR=1.31 (95% CI=1.14, 1.51); NO2: adjOR=1.33 (95% CI=1.11, 1.60)] and
