River levels in the Sunbury area are expected to rise slowly over the next few days as water makes it way downstream and in response to further forecast rainfall today and over the next few days. Further flooding of properties located closest to the river is expected.
The current river forecast suggests that river levels in this area could reach a higher level than those seen in January 2003. As you know, this won't happen overnight but by early to the middle of next week these levels could be realised.
The Council, in close liaison with Surrey County Council, continues to update its website information including providing links to the Environment Agency’s guidance on Flooding from Groundwater.
