Flooding on Ford Lane, Didsbury last year VINCENT COLE
THE ENVIRONMENT Agency has said it is 'monitoring' river levels in parts of south Manchester over fears of 'possible' flooding amid continuing rainfall.
Water levels are said by the agency to be 'rising' although currently, there are no flood warnings or alerts in force in Greater Manchester or the north west.
The nearest in force to Greater Manchester is a flood alert covering the River Dee catchment area from Whitchurch to Chester.
Nationally, five flood warnings are currently in force, including one covering a part of Keswick in the Lake District.
