River levels remain high but are falling at the Buildwas river gauge following persistent rainfall. River levels at the Buildwas gauge peaked at 6.79m, on Wednesday morning, 26/02/20. Consequently, flooding of property, roads and farmland continues. Flooding is affecting properties on Ferry Road. The weather forecast remains unsettled over the next few days, with heavier rainfall forecast for Friday overnight into Saturday morning. River levels are forecast to rise again as a result of this rainfall. We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are currently checking and replacing defences, and liaising with emergency services. Please avoid contact with flood water. This message will be updated by 8am Saturday 29/02/20, or as the situation changes.
