Flood warning

River levels are high but steady at the Polesworth river gauge as a result of persistent heavy rainfall. Consequently, the risk of flooding remains. We expect flooding to affect properties and roads in the Bridge Street, Market Street, Grendon Road, Tamworth Road, Rowland Avenue and Pooley View areas.
No further rainfall is forecast. We expect river levels to remain high until 08:00 on 07/01/25.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are actively checking river levels and the weather forecast.
Please avoid using low lying footpaths and bridges near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.
This message will be updated by 10:00 on 07/01/25, or as the situation changes.
