River levels are continuing to rise in response to heavy rainfall this weekend. We believe there is a possibility of flooding for low lying land and roads close to the River Great Stour, particularly between Wye and Canterbury, this morning, Monday 17 February. River levels are currently expected to continue to rise until Monday evening, 17 February. We are closely monitoring the situation and have deployed temporary defences in West Gate Gardens to help protect properties. Please avoid low lying roads near rivers which may be flooded, and avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses. Our incident response staff are out checking on structures and clearing blockages where it is safe to do so. This message will be updated by 6pm on Monday 17 February.
