A flood alert has been issued for parts of Stockport today (Tuesday 9 December) as Storm Bram brings heavy rain and wind to Britain.

The Environment Agency has said flooding is 'possible' in parts of the River Mersey catchment area due to rising river levels.

The alert is expected to stay in place for the remainder of today until 10am on Wednesday 10 December.

Those areas which are most likely to be affected include low-lying areas are the Micker, Cringle, Sinderland and Poynton Brooks (and their tributaries).

A flood warning - which means flooding is not just possible but expected - is not likely to be issued in Stockport, the Environment Agency said.

The Environment Agency is continuing to monitor rainfall and river levels.

Residents are advised to avoid using low-lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses.
