Flooding expected. Take action now.

Flood warning

Property flooding is possible. River levels are very high on the River Kennet following recent heavy rainfall and high groundwater. Therefore, flooding of property and roads remains possible today, 10/01/2024, especially in the Newbury area. Areas most at risk are Newbury particularly the Northcroft Lane area and areas around the confluence of the River Kennet and River Lambourn. The forecast this evening and into tomorrow (11/01/24) is dry. River levels have dropped but may rise further in response to high groundwater elevating river levels. We are monitoring the situation. Our staff are liaising with councils and emergency services. Activate any property flood protection products such as flood barriers. Be aware of flood water that may remain on the floodplain as river levels recede. Go to the 'River and Sea levels in England' webpage for current river levels. This message will be updated by midday tomorrow, or before if the situation changes.
