River levels are forecast to rise at the Church Wilne river gauge as a result of rainfall and snowmelt associated with Storm Bert. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland is possible from 05:00 tomorrow, 23/11/24. Areas most at risk are low-lying agricultural land and roads including Church Wilne, Draycott, and Wilne Lane between Draycott and Sawley.
We expect river levels to remain high until early on Mondy morning, 25/11/24.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff have been patrolling watercourses in the area.
Please plan driving routes to avoid low-lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded and avoid contact with flood water.
