RIVER LEVELS ON THE RIVER ANCHOLME IN BRIGG

Brigg Blog has been alerted to an interesting online service giving "stats" for the river level of the Ancholme.
Information is available online from the Environment Agency.
The river level at Brigg on November 15 - the latest available - was 1.13 metres.
The highest recorded figure the agency quotes is 2.56 metres, which was in 2007.
It needs to be about 2.4m for flood risk to be present.
We have made this online service a "favourite" for future reference.
Those living near to the river in Brigg might like to do the same.
This page has a link to flood warnings.
We know that Brigg councillors Ben Nobbs and Rob Waltham take a particular interest in this topic, due to local roles they have relating to flood risk.
They and the town council will have more direct means of getting such information, we are sure, should rising river levels ever threaten low-lying areas of Brigg.
