Flooding hits Warwickshire

Multiple areas of Coventry and Warwickshire are affected by floods, 大象传媒 CWR reports.

After much of the UK was issued with an amber weather warning for snow, some places across Coventry & Warwickshire experienced flood waters after the snow had thawed. Kenilworth Ford has been flooded along with roads around Princethorpe, some areas of Coventry, Atherstone and North Warwickshire. The village of Wolston, which was badly flooded last year, has flooded again. Residents called 大象传媒 CWR's Phil Upton to keep him updated about the situation where they were.

An Environment Agency spokesperson said:
鈥淲e know the devastating impact flooding can have on communities and are committed to working with local councils and the residents of Wolston on ways the area can become more resilient to flooding incidents.
鈥淧eople should check their flood risk, sign up for free flood warnings and keep up to date with the latest situation at https://www.gov.uk/check-flood-risk.鈥
Background
鈥 A combination of melting snow and rain has led to some localised river flooding across the Midlands. Environment Agency teams continue to be out on the ground, operating flood defences, taking action to reduce the impact of flooding, issuing flood warnings and supporting those communities affected.
鈥 Environment Agency officers visited Wolston today. The recent flooding in Wolston came from multiple sources including sewers and the brook. The Environment Agency will work with local councils to understand what happened.
鈥 The Environment Agency has been working with the local Flood Action Group on a Property Flood Resilience Scheme in the Wolston area."
