Historical Flood Warnings for this Area
Flood Warning issued on 20 Feb 2022 19:01
River Sheaf
This flood warning has been issued due to reports that a flood wall is slowly leaking into Saxon Road, near the Saxon Road distribution site. Currently the leak is slow but as we expect levels on the Sheaf to remain elevated into the night tonight, it may continue for a few hours at a steady rate. This could affect properties near Saxon Road distribution site and on Clyde Road near the footbridge, and may also affect low lying walkways nearby.
River levels on the Sheaf are expected to peak in the next few hours, which will further reduce the risk. We do not currently expect property flooding from overtopping of the river or more widely within the flood warning area - the risk is currently around the continuing slow leak and centred around the footbridge.
Please put your flood plan into action if you live near to the footbridge.
We are closely monitoring the situation and our incident response staff are closely monitoring the forecast. This message will be updated by 02:55am, 21/02/22.
