A flood warning has been issued by the Environment Agency.

Flood warning in force: North Bank Road alongside the River Nene, east of Peterborough and west of Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice

Flooding is expected for: North Bank Road alongside the River Nene to the east of Peterborough and the West of the Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice

High river levels are expected to cause flooding this evening.

Flooding is expected from the evening of 01 February 2026.

No further rainfall is forecast, but river levels remain high. During periods of high tide, the River Nene will be unable to discharge into the sea, resulting in tide lock conditions. This is likely to lead to localised flooding of the North Bank Road, between Peterborough and Rings End. Whilst this Flood Warning is in force, the Local Authority will close North Bank Road. Diversionary routes will be put in place and further updates will be available through local media.
We are closely monitoring the situation.
Refer to local authority website for road closures.

This message will be updated by 11:00PM on 01 February 2026 or as the situation changes.

A new platform for engagement.

The Environment Agency has created a new Engagement HQ (EHQ) page to host information on operations within Saxon Pit in Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire.
We will share ideas and raise questions with other regulating bodies such as Cambridgeshire County and Fenland County Councils to develop further understanding of issues and concerns from the residents.
We will work on frequently asked questions (FAQ’s) and answer them in a timely manner and add any relevant documents and photographs associated with these operations.

We are opening this page and it’s resources to regulators, stakeholders and the public. We hope that by working with you, and those you are representing, we can further enhance and develop the content.

We will be making this page available in January 2026.

There will be times when the page will be withdrawn for updates, but we will inform you all when these will take place. We are currently waiting for the permit for discharge consent. As soon as it is available, it will be placed on the right side of the page together with a public briefing note.

You will need to register and please read full article with lots of related information.

In memory of our former Chair, Stewart Francis.

Many of us will remember Stuart as one of the pioneers of local radio in the 1970’s.

It is with great sadness that we share the news that our former Chair, Stewart Francis, passed away on Boxing Day at Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice.

Stewart stepped away from his role as Chair of Healthwatch Cambridgeshire and Peterborough in early 2025 due to health reasons. This decision was taken with his characteristic thoughtfulness and integrity, always placing the needs of the organisation and the people it serves first.

During his time with Healthwatch Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Stewart was a deeply respected and valued leader. He brought clarity, compassion, and a strong sense of purpose to the role, championing the importance of listening to people’s experiences of health and care services and ensuring those voices were heard where it mattered most.

Stewart was known for his calm and considered approach, his commitment to good governance, and his unwavering belief in the value of community voice. He supported staff and volunteers alike, encouraging challenge, collaboration, and integrity in all that we did.
We are immensely grateful for the time, energy, and wisdom Stewart gave to Healthwatch Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. His contribution has left a lasting legacy, and he will be remembered with great respect and affection by all who had the privilege of working with him.

Our thoughts are with Stewart’s family, friends, and loved ones at this difficult time.
