We’ve been looking at the Environment Agency website for information about the River Crouch.
At 8 a.m. this morning they had a flood alert for the Upper Crouch – from Noaks Bridge to Runwell, including Wickford. A Flood alert means “Flooding is possible. Be prepared”
No warnings at 8 a.m. this morning for between Battlesbridge and Creeksea.
UPDATE at 10 a.m. : Church Road in Rawreth is still clear, though the brook is pretty full:
UPDATE at 1:15 pm Cllr Michael Hoy advises on Facebook:
Watery Lane closed again, due to flooding. Junction of Watery Lane & Hullbridge Road is also partly under water but is ok for cars.
Maltings Road, Battlesbridge, Essex

Maybe, just maybe, the clue for the motorists is in the name of the road……….
I think you are right , RR.
What news of the Sweyne park area. It would appear no news is good.
