Latest flood alert advice from the Environment Agency: Groundwater levels are now falling steadily. We do not expect further flooding and the flood alert has been removed. Rivers and streams remain full due to high groundwater levels and will react rapidly to further rainfall. Groundwater is now 150cm below the surface, and falling 5cm each day. The amount of groundwater affecting the sewage network is small and reducing. We will continue to monitor the situation and will issue further alerts or warnings if necessary. Only showers are forecast in April. Groundwater levels should keep falling. Don’t put yourself or others at risk. Never drive through flood water, just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car. Our groundwater briefing note will be updated on 10/04/2026.
