Flooding at Staines, update for 5th February 2014.

water’s back!

I know it’s boring but there are quite a few people who want updates on the floods, so be patient with me.

At Staines today (5 February) the Floodmarker on The River Colne was at 3 ft 4 ins above normal – it was 2 ft 1 inch up on 31^st January.

Here’s the river at Lammas Park;

 

The Crazy golf is under water again as is the kiddies playground and about half the park.

The river is over its bank in town;

 

I had to go over the steps of the restaurant to avoid the water.

 

This longboat is cut off from the bank – I wouldn’t fancy walking this plank to get home! Probably wouldn't mind so much if I was coming back from the Pub.
