Flood warning: No longer in force – North Bank Road alongside the River Nene

Flood warning no longer in force: North Bank Road alongside the River Nene, east of Peterborough and west of Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice 
 
The situation is improving and no further flooding is expected in this area.  
Flood warnings and alerts may still be in force for surrounding areas. 
 
There is no longer a threat of flooding, though standing water and debris may still remain. 
Weather conditions are expected to improve and no further flooding is expected. 
We will continue to monitor the situation and will issue further alerts or warnings if necessary.  
Never drive through flood water, just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car. Continue to take care on waterside roads and footpaths and don’t put yourself in unnecessary danger.

Market Street – Emporium – Planning Permission Granted

Historic cinema on Market Street, Whittlesey, to become shops and homes.
A piece of Whittlesey’s heritage is set for a modern transformation.
The former Cinema Palace, later known as the Super Cinema, at 24-30 Market Street, has received approval from Fenland District Council for redevelopment into four one-bedroom flats and four two-bedroom terraced houses alongside two retail units.
The project will maintain a commercial presence on the town’s principal street while giving new life to a building with deep historical and social significance.
