(2) Flood Warning Still In Effect.. 1511115z

Flooding is expected – immediate action required

Recent heavy rain has fallen throughout last week over the River Nene catchment with further rain predicted towards the end of the week. This means that the Whittlesey Washes flood storage reservoir is being operated today, Monday, 15th February, to protect nearby communities from flooding. The high levels in the Washlands 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 for at least a week, until water levels recede. Please follow diversionary routes until the Local Authority re-open the road. We are closely monitoring the situation, and this message will be updated on Tuesday, 16th February, or as the situation changes.
