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 16 November 2025.
No further rainfall is forecast, however river levels are expected to remain high due to tide lock.
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.
Please do not drive through floodwater as bow waves may affect adjacent properties.
This message will be updated by 9:00PM on 16 November 2025 or as the situation changes.

My apologies (again) both Cllr Wainright and myself have been somewhat very busy and has taken some time to compile and edit this report.
Please remember these are ‘Notes’ taken – they may contain some mistakes and the official minutes will be issues by WTC.
Yesterdays WebStats For 15th November.
For more than 10 years, I and a team have supported The Whittlesey Rotary – Life Sciences Quiz, this year we’ve moved up to 2nd place at last nights event at the Indoor Bowls Complex.
A very good night had by all and raised over £900 for the charity.
(The Life Sciences do visit our local schools).
Our Team – (The Independents) came a very credible 2nd place – best we’ve done.

As I said yesterday and on many occasions, challenges are brought to some of ‘us’ Councillors 7 days a week….I suppose thats part and parcel of being an elected representative (By less than 30% of the electorate).
Yesterdays challenge in respect of a tree, which had blow across the Bower Tow Path.
My thanks to (not feeling very well) Cllr Chris Boden who got on the case asap of when I forwarded the issue to him.
I can only presume that a team came out and sorted it, as of this morning when my research assistant (Connie) went to take photo’s for me.

Like many organisations locally, who hold ‘quiz’ nights for good causes, tonights ‘Rotary Quiz’ is very popular and somewhat competitive.
Sorry too late for entroes by now – but be aware an annual event.
#1 Two issues for myself this morning the prime being The Bower Towpath – Overhanging Tree concerns. It was reported to me @ 11:00 and I received photo’s @ 11:56.
I made contact with another Councillor who may have an emergency number to contact @ 12:23 – He reported it immediately to Fenland District Council.
Thats what Councillors should be doing – even on a Saturday morning.
#2 Some serious potholes have appeared, (some older than others) along Eastrea Road and Cllr Wainwright has duly reported these.
We await whether Cambs Highways deem any urgency…..
Public need ‘common sense’ – If unhappy THEN do not enter or transverse.
If you’ve found a ‘bigger one’ let me know?
