The highest tides of the year expected this week.

There are fears of flooding on the Portway this week, with the highest tides of the year expected on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Forecasters are predicting a depression in the Atlantic which means there is likely to be a surge on the tide.

The council is advising residents who live on a road next to or near the Avon River to take precautions to protect their property. They are also telling motorists to avoid the Portway on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning peak for this reason.

Some car parks in the area will be closed for the relevant days and pedestrians should avoid walking near the river at high tide as a safety precaution.
