The River Roach, Prittle Brook and Eastwood Brook Flood alert 8:18am, Wednesday 27th November 2024

Flood alert

This message has been issued because some minor flooding to low lying land, roads and riverside areas is likely from now until tomorrow morning, Thursday 28th November. The River is rising in response to the rainfall overnight. Areas most at risk are riverside areas of the Eastwood Brook around the A1015, Rayleigh Road, and Prittle Brook along Manchester Drive in Leigh-on-Sea. We are not currently expecting the situation to escalate, or to issue any further warning messages at this time. The forecast is for dry conditions after today, which will allow river levels to start returning to normal. Flood water is dangerous. Don't put yourself or others at risk. Our workforce are out checking flood defences and clearing weed screens. We will update this message by 10am tomorrow, Thursday 28th November, or as the situation changes.
