Flood Alert Info - Fluvial River Crane

Heavy rain has fallen over West London today, Sunday 9 February and river levels are rising. Flooding to low lying land, roads and riverside gardens is possible overnight into Monday 10 February along the Duke of Northumberland River in Twickenham. Impacts from the River Crane are not expected. Please note, under normal conditions this amount of rain would not lead to a Flood Alert being issued for this area. However due to an ongoing project to replace the weir on the River Crane at Mereway, our staff are managing flows down the River Crane as would usually happen.

We are closely monitoring rainfall and river levels and are checking rivers for blockages. This message will be updated by 10:00 on 10/02/20, or as the situation changes.

As we move through this evening and into the early hours of tomorrow morning (Wednesday 12 July) there is a risk of further heavy bursts of rain. We expect the river Crane to rise in response to this rainfall in the early hours of Wednesday morning. There is the potential for flooding to affect low lying land and roads close to the river around Cranford Park. No flooding to properties is anticipated. The river should return to normal levels by lunchtime tomorrow. Take care near the areas of concern and monitor your local weather conditions. We are constantly monitoring river levels and will update this message on Wednesday morning or earlier if the situation changes
