Another Flood Alert Issued @ 281249z

Lower Nene

Flooding is possible – be prepared

Over night and this morning we have seen further heavy rainfall in the River Nene catchment. This means that the river is now rising again, which will lead to flooding of low lying land and roads close to the river from this afternoon, Thursday 28th January, onwards. We expect the river to remain high throughout the next few days with further rainfall forecast tonight. Our forecasts indicate that flooding to properties isn’t likely and therefore flood warnings are not expected to be issued. We are constantly monitoring river levels, and have staff in the field checking for blockages and clearing weedscreens. Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. This message will be updated Friday, 29 January as the situation changes.

Flood Warning In Effect – North Bank @ 271920z

B1040 Thorney to Whittlesey Road to the South of the River Nene

Flooding is expected – immediate action required

Heavy rain that has fallen over the River Nene catchment over the last week, means that the Whittlesey Wash flood storage reservoir is being operated to protect nearby communities from flooding. The rising levels in the Wash have 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 a few days, 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 on Thursday, 28th January, or as the situation changes.
