Flood warning

This message has been issued because flooding of homes and businesses is likely over the next few hours and into this evening, Friday 15th January. River levels are high, and continue to rise in response to the recent rainfall working its way through the system. Areas most at risk are Halstead, Earls Colne, Chappel, Ford Street and Lexden. We are not currently expecting the situation to escalate, or to issue any further warning messages at this time. The forecast is for dry conditions today, which will allow river levels to lower, however, further rainfall expected through Saturday. Flood water is dangerous. Don't put yourself or others at risk. We are closely monitoring the situation and will update this message as necessary, and no later than 6pm on Friday 15th January.
