Flood warning

River levels are high but stabilising as a result of heavy rainfall. The risk of flooding remains. Flooding is possible to properties on and around Staplehurst and Chickenden Lane. Peak levels will be similar to the flooding on 28 December 2020.
No further significant rainfall is forecast until Saturday, 16 January 2021. We expect river levels to remain high, rising in the lower Beult until 8am on 15 January 2021.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are actively monitoring the situation and are out on the ground checking and clearing any blockages and debris from the river.
Please move possessions and valuables off the ground or to safety and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers between Smarden and Yalding, which may be flooded.
This message will be updated by 9am tomorrow morning, 15 January 2021, or as the situation changes.
