Welcome to the Bradley Fold Allotments Resources page. Here you’ll find useful links and information to help you make the most of your time on the allotment and stay connected with the community.

Weather & Flood Risk

Use these official links to stay informed about conditions that could affect our allotment, especially during periods of heavy rain.

Live Flood Alerts for Our Area

This is the most important link to check for real-time flood warnings:

Live Local River Levels

You can check the level of the River Mersey using the official monitoring station (the nearest being Northenden). This can give you an early indication if the river level is rising:

  • River Mersey Level at Northenden
    • This page shows a graph of the current river height. Check to see if the level is rising towards the “Flooding is possible” threshold.
