Highlights - Weather warning: heavy rain forecast
Severe weather warning for 6 and 7 September 2008

As a precaution, the council has checked vulnerable grilles on watercourses within its responsibility and these have recently been cleared to ensure no restrictions in flow. The Environment Agency will be carrying out a similar approach to grilles on watercourses and main rivers for which they have responsibility.
