Rivers and flooding history near SM6

The rivers that matter here, each monitored live on FloodRadar:

172 official flood warnings and alerts have been raised within ~10 km of the district's centre since 2006 (9 at warning level or above), most recently 18 July 2025. Warnings cover flood areas, not individual addresses.

No recorded flood extent is mapped near this district's centre. No recorded outline near the district means no flood was mapped here, which is not evidence none happened: the Environment Agency mapped only some floods, mapping effort rose sharply after about 2000, and surface-water flooding is largely absent from this record.
