Important post from a great thread on being caught out by rising tides at the seaside by @dreadships.bsky.social So, with seasonal holidays and outdoor activities increasing please be aware of the danger of drowning when near water, inland or coastal. #FloatToLive #StaySafe #RNLI

Roads by the river will flood today. Please be considerate to residents living nearby and do not drive through flood water, displaced water can cause damage. If walking by the river take extra care and remember #FloatToLive
