Flooding expected. Take action now.
Flooding is expected imminently. Take immediate action.
Heavy rain has fallen over the River Thrushel catchment with a further 20 mm of rain expected overnight. This has caused the River Thrushel to rise and the river is forecast to continue rising over the next 2-3 hours.
Properties near New Bridge including Bridge Cottage and low lying areas near the river will start to flood first. River levels are forecast to be at their highest in 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 10am 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.
