Flooding expected. Take action now.
River levels on the Ifield Brook have peaked and are falling following rainfall this morning, 24/09/19. River levels no longer pose an immediate risk of flooding properties but are higher than normal in the Ifield area, still flooding low lying land. We have staff on the ground establishing whether properties have been flooded. Whilst it is not thought that there is an immediate risk of further property flooding, further heavy showers are forecast in the coming hours and overnight. If the heaviest of these showers are experienced in the area there is potential for the river level to pose a risk to properties again. We have chosen to leave this Flood Warning in force until we are confident the greatest period of risk has passed. Residents should monitor local conditions and be prepared to take action if needed. We have checked the river for blockages and will continue to monitor the situation closely. This message will be updated today by 6pm or as the situation changes.
