Flooding expected. Take action now.
Flooding is expected during the early hours of Friday morning. Take immediate action.
Heavy rain has fallen over the area with a further 15 mm of rain expected throughout the night. This has caused the River Lyd to rise and the river is forecast to continue rising over the next 2 hours.
Properties and low lying areas around Station Road Lifton will start to flood first. River levels are forecast to be at their highest around 02:00 and remain high throughout the early hours of Friday morning.
Flood waters may be deep and fast flowing, and roads could form flow routes. Residents are strongly urged to take action now. Remain safe and be aware of your local surroundings.
Take care near the areas of concern and monitor your local weather conditions. We are monitoring the situation and this message will be updated by midday on Friday or earlier if the situation changes. Our staff are out in the area and will relay information and assist the emergency services and council.
