Coombe Hill Nature Reserve Car Park Flooded 22nd – 29th December 2012
Now you see it, now you don’t. The effects of 7 more days rainfall. In the first picture the car park is already flooding as the canal has filled up and spilt over. When I usually visit the canal looking for dragonflies, the water level is usually several feet below the banks. Sometimes the canal is almost dried up. We now see surrounding fields flooding as they cannot take any more water. The water level has risen approx 5 feet up the Nature Reserve Sign.
