Then I wondered if abnormally high water levels on the Severn would hold back the outflow from the Avon. Can anyone with local knowledge confirm whether this is the case? I can remember seeing photos of last year's floods when the whole of Avon Lock was underwater. And to Andrew:- I hope the water levels in Evesham are still receding and you are able to enjoy a good nights sleep tonight. Cheers Phil
