Immediate action flood warning issued for Bridlington
People in the coastal town of Bridlington have been urged to beware large waves and sea spray, as a flood warning has been put in place.
The Environment Agency says high tides and strong onshore winds have resulted in tidal surge. Consequently, flooding is expected between midday and 3pm, and again between midnight and 3am.
Flooding is expected on the north side of the dock area, with properties on Harbour Road and the Floral Pavilion particularly at risk.
The flood warning calls for immediate action.
