Missing flood information 'could cost lives'
A lack of information from a government agency about river levels could risk lives and livelihoods, critics say.
The EA added that for the most up-to-date information about water levels, people should use Twitter rather than its website. Residents at risk of flooding, she explained, could not fully prepare "because they're not getting accurate warnings". But Ally Hunter Blair, who farms near Ross-on-Wye, said he was also reliant on gauge information from measuring stations along the river to know how much his farm would suffer.
Levels are dropping on the River Wye now but for some "their worst fears materialised overnight, with flood defences failing and water coming in their homes".
