Flood Warnings Returned – Friday 10th Jan 7:42am & 2.39pm

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

Flooding is expected – immediate action required

Heavy rain overnight has caused river levels to rise on the River Nene. 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.

Lower Nene

Flooding is possible – be prepared

Over the past 36 hours we have seen heavy rainfall in the River Nene area. This means that levels in the River Nene have risen, which has led to flooding of low lying land and roads close to the river. No further rainfall is expected over the next 24 hours but we expect the river to remain high for the next few days. 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, checking for blockages and clearing weedscreens. Please avoid using low lying footpaths and roads near rivers, which may be flooded. This message will be updated on Saturday 11th January or as the situation changes.
