Does WF9 flood?

Yes — parts of the WF9 district carry real flood risk: 7 of its 55 at-risk postcodes reach the Environment Agency's High likelihood band. The WF9 postcode district covers Hemsworth, Ackworth, North Elmsall and Upton, close to South Elmsall, Went Bridge, Darfield, and surrounding villages in parts of South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.

55 postcodes in the WF9 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 7 high, 14 medium, 34 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
