Does S3 flood?

Yes — parts of the S3 district carry real flood risk: 13 of its 123 at-risk postcodes reach the Environment Agency's High likelihood band. The S3 postcode district covers City, Hillsborough, Walkley, Burngreave, close to Sheffield, Grimesthorpe, Sheffield Meersbrook, and surrounding villages in parts of South Yorkshire and Derbyshire.

123 postcodes in the S3 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 13 high, 2 medium, 105 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).
