Does WF7 flood?

Yes — parts of the WF7 district carry real flood risk: 4 of its 35 at-risk postcodes reach the Environment Agency's High likelihood band. The WF7 postcode district covers Featherstone, Ackworth, North Elmsall and Upton, close to Pontefract, Whitwood, Castleford, and surrounding villages in parts of West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire.

35 postcodes in the WF7 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 4 high, 2 medium, 29 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
