Parts of the old Park and Ride site at Loddon Bridge started to flood earlier today – and with more rain forecast, there could be more flooding to come.
Wokingham Paper columnist Tony Johnson visited the site to take these pictures today, revealing that the River Loddon has burst its banks.
Small areas of the Showcase Cinema car park are now flooded. Elsewhere, the River Loddon is over the banks under the A329M flyover and the old Park & Ride car park is flooded in two separate places.
The Environment Agency flood warning for the River Loddon is as follows: “Levels on the Lower River Loddon remain high, especially in the Sindlesham area. Flooding of low lying land and roads is expected. Levels are forecast to stabilise and then start to fall over the next 24 hours. Property flooding is not currently expected.”
As you can see from our photos, the flooding is not that bad yet – but the Met Office are forecasting heavy rain overnight on Wednesday night/Thursday morning and more showers during Thursday daytime, so the situation could change.
There is no snow currently forecast, although temperatures will remain chilly at maximums of 4ºC and lows of -2ºC.
