Flooding expected. Take action now.
Flooding is expected on Tuesday afternoon through to late evening.
Heavy rain will continue to fall in the River Exe area. This is causing the River Exe to rise and the river is forecast to continue rising into Tuesday afternoon.
Properties and low lying areas in Bickleigh, Copenhagen, Traymill, Thorverton Mill, Nether Exe and Bampford Speke will start to flood first from around 3PM on Tuesday afternoon.
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 will be closely monitoring the situation and this message will be updated as the situation changes.
