A flood alert has once again been issued around Aylesbury and Wendover.

The Environment Agency has issued the Alert for Bear Brook.

River levels have risen on the Bear Brook as a result of Storm Christoph.

Therefore, flooding of low-lying land, footpaths and roads is expected today, especially in the Aylesbury area.

Any further rain will clear this morning to leave a largely dry day, 21/01/21.

River levels have peaked and will begin dropping later today, with no further rise forecast.

The EA say they are closely monitoring the situation and their incident response staff are in the area clearing weed/trash screens and checking defences.

They are asking us to please remain safe and aware of your local surroundings and avoid contact with flood water.
