We expect River levels to peak later this evening but remain elevated overnight into tomorrow, 21/02/2022. We are closely monitoring the situation and our incident response staff are closely monitoring the forecast.
Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. Consider putting your flood plan into action. Please report any property flooding on 0800 80 70 60.
