The (2) Flood Warning are Still in Effect @ Mon 12:51/12:46pm

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

Flooding is expected – immediate action required

The Whittlesey Wash flood storage reservoir is being operated to protect nearby communities from flooding. The rising levels in the Wash resulted in the flooding of the B1040 road, which is likely to continue until at least Wednesday 24th December, when more rain is forecast. 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.

Flooding is expected – immediate action required

Heavy rain over the last couple of days has caused river levels to rise on the River Nene. High river levels are likely to continue until at least Wednesday, December 25th. 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. 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.

Thanks To Our NHW Co-Ordinators

14 Neighbourhood Watch Co-Ordinators met for their quarterly meeting this week.
Vulunteers who are not just Good Neighbours – they are are the ears and eyes in their community.
Guest speaker John Mcnicol from The Samaritans gave a very interesting talk on the work of the Charity, with some 70 Volunteers in the Greater Pereborough area.
John highlighted that the organisation (national) took 5 Million calls last year and that 6,500 people took their own lives in the previous year.

The Samaritans provide many aspects of support and are non-judgemental.
The rest of the meeting covered the various issues and concerns in our area, be it Policing,
Fly-tipping, Drug dealing, or the for-ever Parking concerns.

Whittlesey & District Neighbourhood Watch has 43 Co-Ordinators- but we have large area’s in and around our town and villages without any cover.
NHW is the largest voluntary organisation in England & Wales.
We are fully constituted and carry full liability insurance.
It is free to join and there is as much or little committment as the member wishes.

Our own NHW website is a wonder of information and advice.

If you would like to become a good and better neighbour, please contact me.
