Flood Warning Info - River Colne at Huddersfield - Syngenta Works

Flooding is expected in this area. This means properties are at risk of flooding. Please take action to protect yourself and your property and monitor local weather and river conditions. Avoid contact with, walking or driving through flood water. Consider activating any property flood protection products you may have. Environment Agency Flood Warning Officers set the river or tidal levels that have triggered this message. During industrial action this message has been automatically issued based on rising river or tidal levels.

River levels are forecast to rise as a result of heavy rainfall this afternoon, 20/02/2022. Consequently, flooding of property and roads is likely. Flooding has occurred on the left bank of the River Colne downstream of the Lees Beck confluence. Properties on Springbank Road and Queens Square may also be affected. We expect river levels to remain high throughout today and 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. This message will be updated by 23:30 on 20/02/2022, or as the situation changes.

River levels have now peaked and are beginning to fall. Further scattered rainfall is forecast overnight and into Monday (10/02/2020). However we expect the risk of flooding to reduce as we do not anticipate any significant river response. We urge residents to remain vigilant and avoid walking and driving through low-lying land or near local watercourses. Our incident room is open and we are monitoring the situation closely. We will update this message by 11:20 on 10/02/2020, or as the situation changes.

River levels have risen as a result of persistent heavy rainfall overnight and this morning, 09/02/20, due to Storm Ciara. A further heavy band of rain is forecast and we expect this to cause the river to continue to rise. Property flooding is possible from around 14:30 today, 09/02/20. Properties around Springbank Road and Queens Square are most at risk. We expect river levels to continue to rise until the early afternoon today, when the rain is forecast to ease into a pattern of showers. We are closely monitoring the situation from our incident room. Please put your flood plan into action and see GOV.UK for a 5 day flood forecast. Please plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded, and avoid contact with flood water. We will update this message by 19:00 09/02/20, or as the situation changes.
