Flood alert in force now from Whitchurch to Chester.

Tuesday, 18 February 2020 10:21

Flooding is possible - be prepared!

River levels remain high as a result of the recent storms. We currently expect river levels will remain above the flood alert threshold until the end of this week. We believe there is a possibility of flooding for low lying land and roads around the River Dee at Shocklach, Farndon, Handley, Lower Kinnerton, Chester and Puddington.

Our incident response staff are closely monitoring weather forecasts and river levels and will issue flood warnings if necessary. Please be aware of your surroundings and keep up to date with the current situation.
