Does NE25 flood?

The NE25 postcode district covers St Mary's, Holywell, Monkseaton, Seghill with Seaton Delaval, close to Cullercoats, Gosforth, Blyth, and surrounding villages in parts of Tyne and Wear and Northumberland.

26 postcodes in the NE25 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 5 high, 1 medium, 20 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
