Does M44 flood?

Yes — parts of the M44 district carry real flood risk: 15 of its 56 at-risk postcodes reach the Environment Agency's High likelihood band. The M44 postcode district covers Cadishead & Lower Irlam, Higher Irlam & Peel Green, close to Flixton, Partington, Glazebrook, and surrounding villages in parts of Greater Manchester and Warrington.

56 postcodes in the M44 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 15 high, 9 medium, 32 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
