Flooding expected. Take action now.
River levels have risen as a result of persistent heavy rainfall overnight and this morning, 09/02/20, due to Storm Ciara. A further heavy band of rain is causing the river to continue to rise. Property flooding is possible over the next hour today, 09/02/20. Properties along Hollins Mill Lane, Town Hall Street, Corporation Street and Walton Street are most at risk.
We expect river levels to continue to rise until the early afternoon today, when the rain is forecast to ease into a pattern of showers.
We are closely monitoring the situation from our incident room. Please put your flood plan into action and see GOV.UK for a 5 day flood forecast. Please plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded, and avoid contact with flood water. We will update this message by 19:05 09/02/20, or as the situation changes.
