This alert is being issued early, in advance of possible heavy rain. 10-20mm of rain is forecast from the early hours of Monday, but as much as 60-70mm is possible. If as much rain falls as predicted, flooding could be possible. From 04:00 on 21/07/2025, flooding could affect roads, and approach a small number of properties on Stonehouse Drive, Hollington Old Lane, Blackman Avenue and Coventry Road. Further showers are predicted until the end of the week. The river should begin to fall by midday, and should return to normal shortly after. River levels could end up similar to July 2009. Flood protection products are recommended to be installed on Stonehouse Drive, if you have them. We regularly clear debris from grilles at Stonehouse Drive and along the Hollington Stream, to help keep the river flowing freely and reduce flood risk. We will update this message by 12:00 on 21/07/2025.
