Does NE16 flood?

Yes — parts of the NE16 district carry real flood risk: 7 of its 16 at-risk postcodes reach the Environment Agency's High likelihood band. The NE16 postcode district covers Whickham North, Blaydon, close to Rowlands Gill, Lamesley, Gosforth, and surrounding villages in parts of County Durham and Tyne and Wear.

16 postcodes in the NE16 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 7 high, 6 medium, 3 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
