Doncaster drivers blasted for moving road signs to drive along flooded roads

Doncaster Council has shut a number of roads after the River Don broke its banks in several places.

But council chiefs say some motorists have been ignoring the closures and driving through the floods.

A spokesman said: “Please do not remove flood road closure signs or barriers or attempt to drive through road closures or flood water.

“We’re aware of incidents like this throughout the day.”

“Road closures are in place for the safety of residents.”
