Over the weekend we joined up with @warkspolice rural crime officers to patrol the River Avon.

We reported 6 offences for fishing on the river in closed season and fishing without rod licenses.

Don't make the same mistake.

When you’re near water: STOP & THINK.

💧Be prepared. Learn how to float on your back.

💧Understand the risks. Warm weather doesn’t mean warm water.

💧Know your limits. Even strong swimmers can struggle.

We responded to reports of flooding on Tanyard Stream in Kenilworth.

Officers spotted a blockage in a culvert caused by some garden furniture.

Our contractors quickly took action to clear the obstruction, reducing the risk of flooding to homes and businesses.

Umbrellas at the ready as rain continues this afternoon ☔

Turning lighter and patchier later, especially in the west, though staying rather cloudy ☁️

Breezy at times, and feeling humid 🍃

Small farms, big impact.

The first window of the new Sustainable Farming Incentive is scheduled to open 30 June, for small farms and farms without existing Environmental Land Management agreements first. Simpler, fairer, and backed by £240 million - https://t.co/IsXEcUXZEG

It's a lively afternoon out there, especially in the southeast ⛈️

Take care if driving as there may be spray on the roads and reduced visibilities 👇

Bovine TB devastates farming communities across England. Our goal is a TB-free England by 2038. We've brought together over 100 farmers, scientists, vets and conservationists to develop a new strategy, with cattle at the heart of it.🐄 Find out more: https://t.co/5OUO3WsvvW

Don’t be a victim of waste crime.

If you own land or property waste criminals could be targeting your premises to dump illegally collected waste.

Follow our guidance to keep them out.

Another afternoon of sunshine and showers ☔

These turning heavy at times, especially in the east, with flashes of lightning, hail and rumbles of thunder ⛈️

Feeling cool and staying breezy ⤵️

We’re hard at work protecting communities across the country.

93% of our flood assets are at or above their target conditions, but what does this mean for you?

It’s simple: fewer properties damaged, less businesses disrupted, and faster recovery.

[Environment Agency Midlands @EnvAgencyMids]

We are starting the annual beach nourishment work this week which helps to reduce the risk of flooding to 20,000 homes and businesses and 24,500 static caravans on the Lincolnshire coast.

Could you spot an unregistered waste carrier?

If you use one, your rubbish could end up illegally dumped and you could be fined.

Check if your waste carrier is licenced here: https://t.co/UtPQafa9HG

Barbel cloud 👌

Moving on to the next part in their journey, see you soon little ones 🥹

Some unseasonably windy conditions expected in the southwest overnight tonight and into tomorrow

Could see peak gusts of 50mph along the north coast of Cornwall, Devon and through the Bristol Channel 🍃

Winds will ease into the afternoon and evening

This isn’t fly‑tipping. It’s organised profit-driven waste criminals who thrive when no one speaks up.

Reporting organised crime is anonymous.

Call Crimestoppers if you see them operating in your area.
