The Foxwood Residents Association is thanking everyone for their support on flood victim relief today.
However they have as many donations and help as they can manage today so they are requesting that no more offers are made.
They will update their web site tomorrow.
York, Cawood and Selby are currently experiencing unprecedented levels of flooding, with rivers expected to peak during the evening and early hours of tomorrow morning.
DCC Tim Madgwick, Gold Commander said:
“We would advise people not to visit the affected areas of York and Selby at this time of high risk. Many major routes into York and Selby are currently flooded and travel in and around these areas is very challenging.”
“Routes that are open and passable are critical to emergency services to access to those who need support. We would ask people who do not need to travel to York , Selby and Selby district to delay their visit until the flood risk has passed.”
“The risk is being constantly monitored through a multi-agency approach. As flood waters are currently rising, we expected a clearer picture of maximum levels tomorrow, when they peak.”
“To residents and business owners – if you are contacted by emergency or support agencies and asked to evacuate your property, we realise the inconvenience and disruption, but please be assured that all risks will have been assessed and the decision to evacuate will have been made with your safety and best interest in mind.”

Early times, and there is still a lot of water to reach York from the Dales, but the Ouse gauges seem to be peaking.
The weather forecast suggests that we are due to have another dry day tomorrow which will help.

Generally the floods have had less impact on west York than on roads nearer the Foss and the Ouse.
Windsor House older peoples home suffered basement flooding yesterday and the was a re-occurrence of “backing up” problems in the sewers in Foxwood Lane south.
In the Woodthorpe area sandbags had to be deployed in the Coeside/Nevis way area.
The Community is therefore being asked to help wherever possible those who have been evacuated from their homes in central and east York
