Official road closures

Report flooding on a road or footpath - call us on 01432 261800

  • Road closed signs are there for your safety - ignoring road closures and flood signs isn’t just risky—it can be dangerous
  • Roads aren’t officially reopened until they have passed a full safety inspection by our teams and deemed safe.
  • Please do not drive past road closed signs or into flood water as there may be hidden dangers - flood levels may drop on certain roads but roads are not reopened until they have been inspected for safety.
  • Your safety is our priority. Roads will officially reopen once it’s safe.
  • Please respect the signs, and thank you for your patience.

Dangers of ignoring road closure signs

Hidden Dangers 

  • Floodwaters hide hazards like lifted manhole covers, debris and damaged road surfaces and verges. Even after the water recedes, structural damage to roads, banks and verges may still be present.
  • Driving hazards such as mud and debris may need to be cleared by our teams before it is safe.

Danger to Others

  • Moving or ignoring flood signs puts yourself and others at risk. It’s not only dangerous, but it's also an offence.
  • Do not drive into floodwater.

The Facts

  • 15cm of fast-moving water can knock you off your feet. 
  • 30cm of water can move your car. 
  • 60cm of standing water will float your vehicle. 

Don’t risk it

Even a small amount of water can cause serious damage to your car or, worse, lead to a life-threatening situation.

Removing signs or driving through flooded areas means our teams and emergency resources are tied up and can’t respond to other urgent situations.
