⚠️ SAFETY ADVICE – FLOODING & HIGH WATER LEVELS

We are continuing to monitor areas affected by flooding and rising water levels. With further heavy rainfall expected, some locations remain hazardous.

Please take extra care when out and about:

Avoid walking or driving through floodwater – even shallow water can hide hazards or cause vehicles to stall.

Keep children and pets away from rivers, streams and flooded areas, as fast‑flowing water can be extremely dangerous.

Use alternative routes if you come across road closures or deep standing water.

Check on vulnerable neighbours or relatives who may need assistance.

Follow updates from local authorities, the Environment Agency, and weather services.

If you see anyone in immediate danger, please call 999.

Thank you for your cooperation as we work together to keep our community safe.
