Flooding possible. Be prepared.

Flood alert

Groundwater levels have risen at the Thomas Bole Close borehole in response to recent rainfall. Consequently, there is an increased risk of groundwater flooding. We expect flooding to affect areas of Bury St. Edmunds at risk of groundwater flooding, including Eastgate Street, Barn Lane and parts of Vinefields. The weather forecast is for further rain showers, therefore there is a risk that groundwater levels will continue to remain high. We are closely monitoring the situation. Please avoid contact with flood water. This message will be updated Wednesday 17 March, or as the situation changes.
