River levels are rising at the Deepmore Farm river gauge as a result of Storm Bert. Consequently, flooding of property is possible to begin between 11:00 and 12:00 today, 24/11/24. We expect flooding to affect properties around the Stafford Road area.
Further rainfall is forecast over the next 24 hours. We expect river levels to remain high into Sunday afternoon, 24/11/24.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are actively checking river levels and the weather forecast and clearing weed screens.
Please activate any property flood protection products you may have, such as flood barriers and air brick covers and avoid contact with flood water.
Call 999 if in immediate danger.
This message will be updated 25/11/24, or as the situation changes.
