Flood Warning Lifted: South Cornwall Coast, Lands End to Lizard Point

Flood Warning Lifted for South Cornwall Coast

The Environment Agency has confirmed that the flood threat along the South Cornwall Coast, from Lands End to Lizard Point, is no longer in place. Coastal conditions are expected to continue improving, and no further flooding is anticipated at this time.

What Happened

A flood alert was previously in effect for this stretch of the Cornish coastline. The Environment Agency has now lifted the threat, though the situation is still being monitored closely. Further alerts or warnings will be issued if conditions change.

What May Still Be Present

Although the immediate danger has passed, some effects of the earlier conditions may still be visible in the area:

• Standing water may remain on low-lying ground
• Debris may have been deposited on roads, footpaths, and coastal areas

What You Should Do

Even though the warning has been lifted, the Environment Agency advises the public to remain cautious:

• Take care on waterside roads and footpaths. Surfaces may still be slippery or obscured by debris.
• Stay away from floodwater. Even shallow standing water can conceal serious hazards, including open manhole covers, sewage, and chemicals.
• Do not put yourself in unnecessary danger. If an area looks unsafe, do not enter it.
