Yesterday evening the river Wey at Godalming once again burst it's banks, flooding the Lammas Land area. As river levels continue to rise today after further rain last night, the flood risk to streets and homes becomes greater.

Some reports are suggesting that water levels are rising at a similar pace to that seen on Christmas eve, when many homes were flooded and a multi agency rescue operation was launched. However, earlier today, Guildford, another town on the river Wey that flooded on Christmas Eve, suffered more flooding but so far much less severe than seen on Christmas eve.
Another storm expected to move over the UK on Friday, bringing further rain, will bring further risk of flooding to Godalming on Friday evening and into the weekend.
We will be keeping our eye on the situation at Godalming over the next few hours, please check back regularly for updates.
