River levels are rising at the Great Haywood river gauge as a result of heavy rainfall. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland is possible between Saturday evening, 20th September 2025, and Sunday morning, 21st September 2025. We expect flooding to affect low-lying land and roads adjacent to the River Trent between Great Haywood to Yoxall including Rugeley. We are issuing this flood alert as a precautionary measure. Further rainfall is forecast over the next 12 hours. We expect river levels to remain high until Sunday morning, 21st September 2025. 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 and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. This message will be updated by 11:00 on 21/09/25, or as the situation changes.
