THIS was the scene on Bridge Street in Tadcaster last night, which sparked a massive community effort to prevent properties flooding. Tadcaster Community Action Group said on Facebook that it was caused by drain flooding, not a breach of the River Wharfe, and the road was closed. The fire service attended the scene and a flood pump was deployed. Surface water pumping is drained directly into the river, the group said. By 2.20am this morning Bridge Street was clear of surface water flooding. Zoe Devine, owner of Devine Meats on Bridge Street and volunteer with the Community Action Group, said: It was a massive community effort again and thanks to the residents and business owners we managed to get sandbags and flood gates on all properties on Bridge Street.
