Does LS1 flood?

Yes — parts of the LS1 district carry real flood risk: 6 of its 65 at-risk postcodes reach the Environment Agency's High likelihood band. The LS1 postcode district covers Hunslet & Riverside, Little London & Woodhouse, Beeston & Holbeck, close to Leeds, Leeds Crown Point Weir, Leeds Knostrop Weir, and surrounding villages in West Yorkshire.

65 postcodes in the LS1 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 6 high, 12 medium, 47 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
