Flooding on the A28 last month

Kent is on flood alert today with the Environment Agency issuing three warnings for the county.

There are fears of flooding along stretches of the rivers Medway and Beult as forecasters predict more heavy rain later.

Milder temperatures over the weekend melted last week's snow and there were heavy downpours on ground already saturated.

Flooding is said to be possible in areas including Yalding, Allington and parts of Maidstone along with Smarden and Headcorn.

The Environment Agency's flood alert for the upper River Medway covers an area from Forest Row to Penshurst, including Ashurst.

An alert for the lower River Medway stretches from Hampstead Lock at Yalding to Allington Lock - including East Farleigh, Wateringbury, Teston and Teston Park - Tovil and Maidstone including Millennium Park.

And a third warning is in place for the River Beult from Pluckley and Bethersden to Hampstead Lock at Yalding, including Smarden, Headcorn, Collier Street, Benover and The Lees.
