A primary school in Flintshire has been closed today (Monday, May 17) due to “significant flooding”. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Queensferry Primary School has been forced to close because a number of rooms within the building have been flooded. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The post said: “School is closed today due to significant flooding throughout the building.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“Apologies for the short notice but we will need to have the building assessed to ensure it is safe for children to return.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Torrential downpours swept across Flintshire on Sunday causing flash flooding on some roads in the region. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
