Flooding expected. Take action now.
Heavy rain has fallen across the River Colne catchment over the last few days and has caused river levels to rise. They have now peaked and will slowly start to fall today on Monday 1 February. No rainfall is forecast today but some rainfall is forecast from the early hours of Tuesday 2 February, and levels may rise again following this.
Flooding to properties and low lying areas around the River Colne, particularly within the Batchworth, Money Hill and Maple Cross areas remains possible today on Monday 1 February.
Flood waters may be deep and fast flowing in these areas. Residents are strongly urged to take action now. Remain safe and be aware of your local surroundings.
We are continuing to closely monitor river levels in the area and have staff on standby and ready to respond to clear any river blockages.
This message will be updated this evening, Monday 1 February, or earlier if the situation changes.
