River Tone catchment

River levels remain high on Thursday 29th January. Flooding is possible as a result. Areas most at risk include locations near the River Tone, Hillfarrance Brook and Halsewater Stream. Low lying land and roads are expected to be most affected, particularly areas and roads around Hillfarrance, Bradford on Tone, Lane End Road at Ham and the Creech St Michael to Henlade road. Throughout the day isolated showers are forecast, with a band of more sustained rain this evening through to the early hours of Friday morning. We are closely monitoring the situation and Field Teams are out clearing debris screens and checking rivers for blockages. Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. Remain aware of local water levels and weather conditions and don’t put yourself or others at risk. This message will be updated by 1PM on 30/01/2026, or as the situation changes.
