Get flood warnings by phone, text or email
River levels remain high at the Milford Sow river gauge due to the continued rainfall and already saturated ground. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland is expected to continue throughout today, 22/12/24.
We expect flooding to affect low-lying land and roads adjacent to the River Sow between Great Bridgeford and Shugborough, the River Penk between Coven and Stafford, the Sandyford Brook, the Rising Brook, the Ridings Brook and the Saredon Brook.
We expect river levels to remain high until tomorrow evening, Sunday 22/12/2024.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are actively checking river levels and the weather forecast.
Please avoid using low lying footpaths and bridges near local watercourses. Plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.
This message will be updated tomorrow morning, Monday 23/12/24, or as the situation changes.
Flood alert area: Low-lying land and roads between Great Bridgeford and Shugborough on the River Sow, between Coven and Stafford on the River Penk, on the Sandyford Brook, on the Rising Brook, on the Ridings Brook and on the Saredon Brook.
