Flood warning

River levels have risen at the Halesowen Dog Kennel Lane river gauge as a result of heavy rainfall in addition to snowmelt. Consequently, flooding of property is possible. We expect flooding to affect properties along the A459, Grange Crescent and Hayseech Road.

We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are actively checking river levels and the weather forecast.

Please activate any property flood protection products you may have, such as flood barriers and air brick covers and avoid contact with flood water, and call 999 if in immediate danger.

This message will be updated by 12:00 on Monday 06/01/25, or as the situation changes.
