Does SK6 flood?

Yes — parts of the SK6 district carry real flood risk: 9 of its 29 at-risk postcodes reach the Environment Agency's High likelihood band. The SK6 postcode district covers Marple North, Marple South & High Lane, close to Compstall, Hazel Grove, Bredbury, and surrounding villages in parts of Greater Manchester and Cheshire East.

29 postcodes in the SK6 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 9 high, 12 medium, 8 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
