"River levels are rising at the Waterhouses river gauge as a result of heavy rainfall.

We expect flooding to affect low-lying land and roads adjacent to the River Hamps and River Manifold including Waterhouses.

We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are actively checking river levels and the weather forecast.
Please avoid using low lying footpaths and bridges near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.
