River Roding
River levels remain high on the Roding due to heavy rainfall earlier in the week. Flooding may continue to affect locations near the Roding, with low lying land expected to be most affected, particularly around Roding Lane, Park View, Loughton, Bradwell Road, Boxted Close, Riverside Cottages, Eton Manor, Valley Close, Roding Road, Malvern Gardens, Broomfield Avenue, Valley Hill, and Southern Drive. No further significant rainfall is expected over the weekend, meaning river levels will begin to fall, but the risk of flooding to low-lying land remains. We are monitoring rainfall and river levels and are checking rivers for blockages in the area. Avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses and do not attempt to walk or drive through flood water.
