Important Information.

 

A Flood Warning has been issued by the Environment Agency for the River Thames at Wraysbury.

Flooding is expected for the River Thames at Wraysbury village including Welley Road, Ouseley Road, Station Road and Staines Road, as well as Magna Carta Lane from this morning onwards.

 

Immediate action required.

 

The river and flooding forecast is as follows: River levels on the Thames at Wraysbury are very high, out of banks and rising following recent rainfall. River levels are expected to continue to rise over the next couple of days and property flooding is expected from Sunday morning onwards. The current river forecast suggests that river levels in this area could reach a higher level than those seen in January 2003. The weather prospects are: Sunday and Monday will see some showers, some of which may be heavy.
