River levels have fallen but are forecast to rise again at the Leek river gauge as a result of heavy rainfall. Consequently, the risk of flooding remains. Flooding is affecting low-lying land and roads adjacent to the River Churnet between Leek and Rocester and the River Tean between Adderley and Spath including Cecilly Brook at Cheadle. Further showers are forecast from 4am tomorrow morning 09/12/23. River levels are steady, but are forecast to rise again tomorrow morning.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are clearing weed screens and actively checking river levels and the weather forecast. Please avoid using low lying footpaths and bridges near local watercourses. Plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. This message will be updated tomorrow morning 09/12/2023, or as the situation changes.
