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. This is a Flood Alert to let you know the Duke of Northumberland River may be higher than normal whilst this occurs. Please avoid using low lying footpaths along the river during this time.
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.
