This is an update from the Environment Agency.
Flood Warning in force: River Weaver at Acton Bridge and Weaverham.
Flooding is expected for: Areas at risk include Properties along Warrington Road at Acton Bridge and Sandy Lane in Weaverham.
Immediate action required.
River levels are continuing to rise at the Pickerings Cut river gauge as a result of persistent heavy rainfall associated with Storm Christoph. Consequently, flooding to properties is expected. We believe there is a possibility of flooding for some properties close to the River Weaver along Warrington Road and Sandy Lane. Further rainfall is forecast over the next 48 hours and we expect river levels to remain high until Friday. Our incident response staff are closely monitoring weather forecasts and river levels and will issue further flood warnings if necessary. Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses, be aware of your surroundings and keep up to date with the current situation.
