Does FY4 flood?

Yes — parts of the FY4 district carry real flood risk: 24 of its 52 at-risk postcodes reach the Environment Agency's High likelihood band. The FY4 postcode district covers Waterloo, Squires Gate, Stanley, Wrea Green with Westby, close to Poulton, and surrounding villages in Lancashire.

52 postcodes in the FY4 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 24 high, 7 medium, 18 low, 3 very low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
