Environment Agency Automated Flood Warnings
We are committed to safeguarding our flood warning service during periods of industrial action. Therefore, during periods of industrial action, the Environment Agency’s flood warning system will automatically issue flood alerts and flood warnings so people are warned and can take action to protect their lives and livelihoods. During periods of automation flood alerts and warnings may be issued with different lead times, under different conditions and with limited community specific information. 

Our teams are continuing to work hard to ensure we are as well prepared and resilient as possible. Our main aim remains to ensure public safety, avoid damage to the environment, and to sustain our critical operations, including responding to flooding and other serious incidents where there is a risk to life.  

We have listened to feedback on how the temporary automated system works and are looking at how we can improve it for this period of action. We encourage people to continue to take heed of all flood alerts and flood warnings, and to call Floodline on 0345 988 1188 if they have any concerns. Visit www.gov.uk/check-flooding for current flood alerts and warnings and to check river, sea, groundwater and rainfall levels in your area.

Request for information about flooded houses
Milton Keynes Council is requesting information about affected houses to help them investigate the flood. They want to know which houses in Stony parish were affected. Apparently they've had about 40 households respond but suspect there's more they don't know about. If you have been affected and you're happy to give your details, please submit your name, address and contact information to the Stony Town Council Clerk, Lynne Compton: office@stonystratford.gov.uk. Thank you.
