ℹ️ Winter flood preparation — grit bins and sandbags

Ahead of winter the Council reviews the parish flood plan and checks the three grit bins. Residents in the low-lying part of the parish can request sandbags through Maidstone Borough Council. Live flood warnings for this area are shown at the top of this page automatically, direct from the Environment Agency.

River levels

Live gauge readings from the Environment Agency for the rivers through the parish, upstream and downstream. These are measurements, not warnings — the river rises for hours before a warning is issued, which is exactly what makes them worth watching. Any flood warning actually in force appears at the top of every page.
