Flood Warning Improvements

The Environment Agency has created a new dedicated Flood Warning Area covering Long Bennington, called:

Isolated Properties and villages near the River Witham from Hougham to Claypole.

This is as a result of a better understanding of flood risk from the floods of 2023/24 and thanks to valuable feedback from residents.

This Flood Warning is now triggered from both Hougham and Foston Beck river gauges.

River levels at these locations can be monitored here by entering Long Bennington :http://www.gov.uk/check-flooding

You can also sign up to the Flood Warning Service here too.
