This latest Flood Alert update issued by the Environment Agency on 24 December, affects anyone travelling by road or walking footpaths around this area, as well as residents. There's a map of the affected area further down this page.
Updated 9:13am on 24 December 2024
Groundwater levels have slowly started to recede having risen in response to recent rainfall. Levels are very reactive to further rainfall.
The forecast is for high pressure to build over the next 3-5 days with little rainfall predicted. This should allow groundwater to continue to fall.
Flooding of roads and fields is possible. Where groundwater is near the surface, intense rainfall will lead to surface water flooding.
Residents are advised to prepare property resilience measures and ensure that pumps are working where they have been installed. We will continue to monitor the situation closely.
This message will be updated by 3 PM on 31/12/2024, or as the situation changes.
