Due to recent levels of heavy rainfall over the last week, an orange flood warning remains in place throughout areas across Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
After some flooding throughout Milton Keynes the last week, the government has decided to keep the orange flood warning in place.
They warn that more flooding is possible and that residents should be prepared. This warning will mainly impact areas of western Milton Keynes, such as Loughton.
The flood warning reads: “River levels are high and steady at the Brackley river gauge as a result of the recent rainfall.
“Consequently, the risk of flooding remains. We expect flooding to affect River the Great Ouse from Brackley to Haversham, including Padbury Brook.
“No significant rainfall is forecast today. We expect to see river levels begin to fall at Brackley.
“We are closely monitoring the situation. Please plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded and avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses.”
Further updates are expected early tomorrow morning (04/02).
