IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
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.  

Immediate action required.

Heavy rain has been falling on the River Nene catchment over the past 24 hours. During periods of high tide the river will be unable to discharge into the sea, resulting in tide lock conditions. This is likely to lead to localised flooding at North Bank Road from this evening on Monday 10th February onwards. Whilst the 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. This Flood Warning is expected to stay in force for several days until tide lock conditions improve. Please follow diversionary routes until the local authority re-open the road. We are operating the Dog-in-a-Doublet sluice to discharge water during low tide, and reduce the flood risk as much as possible.

We will be closely monitoring the situation, and this message will be updated by Tuesday 11 February, or as the situation changes.

Most’ of us have found out by default – I and more than half of Whittlesey Town Councillors are not on Facebook™ (you know my resoning) – so why is there a dedicated Kings Dyke Facebook site administered by Cambs CC – and none of  us were told about it.

CCC leader Steve Count ‘promised’ us and the public that ‘we’ would be kept fully informed by ‘him’ – that was last September.
Here is the FB link…..see for yourself – no information is almost as bad as
misinformation..
Some of those on Whittlesey Social Media were aware but so happened not to tell anyone else….
