Get flood warnings by phone, text or email
River levels are falling but remain high. Flooding will continue to affect locations near the Bristol Avon and Semington Brook, with low lying land and roads expected to be most affected, particularly around low lying land and roads between Melksham and Bathford. The flood gates at Holt Road may be closed.
Further showers are forecast on Friday and Sunday but are not expected to cause any further flooding.
We are clearing debris from weed screens and monitoring rainfall and river levels.
Please avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded and keep up to date with the weather forecast for your area. Never drive through flood water, just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car. Don't put yourself or others at risk.
This message will be updated by 11:00am on Friday 31/01/2025 or as the situation changes.
Flood alert area: Mid River Avon and tributaries including Melksham and Bradford on Avon.
