Flooding is expected – immediate action required
Heavy rain fell over the River Nene catchment last week and the Whittlesey Wash flood storage reservoir is being operated to protect nearby communities from flooding. The rising levels in the Wash has resulted in flooding of the B1040 road. Whilst the Flood Warning is in force, the Local Authority may close the B1040 for safety reasons. Diversionary routes will be put in place and further updates will be available through local media. This Flood Warning is expected to stay in force throughout this week until water levels recede. Please follow diversionary routes until the local authority re-open the road. We will be closely monitoring the situation, and this message will be updated by tomorrow,
Tuesday 19th January, or as the situation changes.
