Get flood warnings by phone, text or email

Flooding is expected overnight on Saturday (23rd November) and throughout Sunday (24th November). Heavy rain has been falling in the River Torridge area, causing the River Torridge to rise. Properties and low lying areas in Taddiport (properties around Taddiport Bridge, Sewage Treatment Works and B3227) and Weare Giffard (riverside properties and roads), will start to flood first from the early hours of Sunday. Flood waters may be deep and fast flowing in these areas. Residents are strongly urged to take action now. Remain safe and be aware of your local surroundings. We are closely monitoring the situation, and this message will be updated Sunday afternoon, or if the situation changes.

Flood warning area: riverside locations and roads between Dolton and Bideford, including New Bridge, Beaford Bridge, Taddiport, Rolle Bridge, Weare Giffard, Annery Kiln, and the A386, A3124 and B3227 at Great Torrington and Taddiport.
