Flooding expected. Take action now.
River levels have risen at the Marple Bridge river gauge on 31/07/19, as a result of persistent heavy rainfall. We believe there is a possibility of flooding for properties along the river, near the bridge and at Waters Edge.
Further heavy rainfall is forecast over the next few hours. We expect river levels to continue to rise and peak between 18:00 and 18:30 at 2.1m.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are closely monitoring weather forecasts and river levels and will issue (further) flood warnings if necessary.
Please be aware of your surroundings and keep up to date with the current situation.
