Surrey residents have been warned to expect flooding<\/a> as the Environment Agency issues a \u2018flood warning\u2019 for parts of the county.<\/p>\n The warning has been given for the River Wey at Elstead and Eashing. This means that people along the waterway, in Godalming<\/a>, Elstead <\/a>and Charleshill will likely have experienced or be experiencing flooding.<\/p>\n Property and roads may be affected, especially in the Elstead Mill and Eashing areas.<\/p>\n The warning means that those in the affected area take steps to protect themselves such as moving to higher ground or the upper flood of a building, put flood protection equipment in place and turn off the gas, electricity and water in their home if it\u2019s safe.<\/p>\n Rising river levels have been caused by Thursday’s (December 18) rainfall<\/a>. Currently these levels are rising and at around 1.69m, just short of the 1.74m level where property flooding becomes possible.<\/p>\n While no more rain is forecast<\/a> for Friday (December 19) river levels will continue to rise throughout the day, as the rainfall from Thursday nights makes its way through the system.<\/p>\n However, without further downpours the levels should then peak and slowly fall.<\/p>\n As well as this flood warning several flood alerts have also been issued for Surrey. This is the step before a warning and means that flooding is possible. These have been given for:<\/p>\n Chertsey Bourne – including Virginia Water<\/a>, Thorpe Green and Chertsey <\/a>and the Moat at Thorpe.Cranleigh Waters – including Elmbridge, Shamley Green and Bramley<\/a> and the Littlemead Brook including Cranleigh<\/a>.Hoe Stream – including Woking<\/a>.River Blackwater and The Cove Brook – including Badshot Lea, Aldershot<\/a>, Farnborough, Camberley<\/a>, Sandhurst, Eversley, Bramshill and Swallowfield, and the Cove Brook at Farnborough and Cove.River Lox – from Chiddingfold to Drungewick, including the Loxwood Stream.Rivers Eden and Eden Brook and Kent Ditch – from Blindley Heath to Penshurst including Edenbridge and Hever.Tillingbourne – including Chilworth and Shalford<\/a>.Upper Arun – The Rivers Arun, North River, Kird and Par Brook.Upper River Medway – from Forest Row to Penshurst, including Ashurst.Upper River Wey – including Alton, Farnham<\/a>, Bordon, Frensham, Tilford<\/a>, Godalming<\/a>, Guildford<\/a> and Peasmarsh.<\/p>\n People should avoid using low lying footpaths near these areas.<\/p>\n There has already been disruption caused by the flooding. On Thursday (December 18) the road under the railway bridge on Trumps Green Road flooded causing police to re-route traffic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Environment Agency is warning that property flooding is possibleHigh water levels are possible in certain areas(Image: Surrey…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":325398,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1397,34234,90,124993,56,54,55,1068],"class_list":{"0":"post-325397","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-environment","8":"tag-environment","9":"tag-iya-alert-county","10":"tag-science","11":"tag-surrey-floods","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom","15":"tag-weather"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=325397"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325397\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/325398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=325397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=325397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=325397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
