Cars at Kex Gill, queuing at roadworks last year PEOPLE in Craven are being urged to prepare for flooding as heavy and persistent rain is forecast to continue over the next few days. Kex Gill on the A59 between Skipton and Harrogate, and on high ground at Blubberhouses, is one of the key routes being monitored by highways officers. Meanwhile, police and the fire and rescue service are both appealing for drivers to take care if travelling across the region over the coming days. The North Yorkshire Local Resilience Forum, which is heading the multi-agency response to the expected flooding, says residents should be prepared.
