Flood Warning Info - River Bray from Challacombe to Meethe, including Brayford and Clapworthy

Flooding is expected on Sunday afternoon and evening. Heavy rain falling in the North Devon area will continue throughout Sunday into Monday morning.

We will be closely monitoring the situation throughout the evening and overnight and this message will be updated as the situation changes. Our staff are out in the area and will relay information and assist the emergency services and council.
