  • Flooding History
    SUPPORTING INFORMATION FLOODING IN WITHERLEY PARISH Throughout living memory, certain parts of the Parish have flooded in the event of heavy rain. This has become accepted as ‘the way it is.’ However, the extent of local flooding is often at an unacceptable level, causing damage to property, personal distress and road closures. Witherley Parish is 58% bounded by watercourses. The three principal rivers in the Borough are the Rivers Tweed, Sence and Anker, which form the north, west and southern boundaries, respectively. The River Tweed on the northern border flows west to meet the River Sence, north of Ratcliffe Culey. The Sence flows in a south westerly direction and joins the River Anker at the most westerly point of the Parish. The Anker flows north westerly forming the Parish and County boundary to the west and eventually meets the River Tame near to Tamworth Castle. From its source to these middle reaches the Anker has a mixed urban and rural catchment with the towns of Hinckley, Nuneaton, Weddington, Mancetter and Atherstone draining to the River. Several waterbodies within these urban areas have been heavily modified due to urbanisation and flood risk management. Main watercourses within Witherley Parish, indicating where flood risk from rivers is highest. Surface water flooding in Witherley Parish: Flooding from surface water is not easy to predict as rainfall location and volume are difficult to forecast. In addition, local features and conditions vary and affect the chance and severity of flooding. Flooding in Witherley Historically, the floodplains on Cottagers Piece and other fields adjoining the River Anker took the pressure off the village in the event of heavy rainfall.
