Flood Warnings for Old Windsor

As of the start of 2008 the Environment Agency introduced new flood warning boards. We will have these boards on display at the notice boards in St Lukes Road by the old toilet block, outside Budget Stores on the Straight Road, outside the Parish Meeting Room in Church Road and outside Kings Court School in Ashbrook Road. I urge you to read the boards carefully as they have changed again. There is no longer an All Clear board. The new warning codes are:-

For the very latest Flood information, please phone the FloodLine on 0845 988 1188 then press 1 to hear about the flood warnings in force. Enter the quickdial number 173108 for information specific to Old Windsor. There is also a website and the page specific to flood warnings is here. When you get to this page use the search box in the middle, select Town and enter Old Windsor if there are any warnings showing for the Thames Area. Unfortunately the Environment Agency has a habit of changing all their links and making some information hard to find so we are constantly checking this link to make sure it is correct but we do get caught out on occasions so apologies if it is not working when you check. They also have a habit of providing misleading information by providing different answers. If you go to their site and they provide you with a choice of answers then take the worst case one as being correct. I have complained several times so feel free if you feel the same way. A new development is the provision of water levels at various points along the Thames as well as elsewhere. The link most relevant to us is the one at Old Windsor Lock which can be found here. The site is very informative and self explanatory.

The Royal Borough has its own page regarding flooding which has a lot of useful information and that can be found here.

This site will also be updated regularly during the winter months or at any time when flooding is likely to happen. In the unfortunate event of any serious flooding then the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead has a Flood Plan in place to help residents.

The Flood Warning status as of 4th February 2012 is

ALL CLEAR
