Flooding expected. Take action now.
River levels have peaked and begun to fall in the Great Stour from Lenham Heath to Hothfield. The river levels peaked at around midnight, and will continue to fall through Tuesday morning. Ground conditions remain very wet following rainfall on Monday, and there will continue to be some flooding impacts. The situation will improve through Tuesday. The Flood Storage Area at Hothfield is storing floodwater, reducing river levels and flood impacts downstream. We will continue to monitor the situation, and will update this message on Tuesday morning.
