Flooding possible. Be prepared.

Flood alert

Over the last 24 hours we have seen heavy rainfall in the East and West Fen area. This means that the East and West Fen are now rising, which will lead to flooding of low-lying land and roads close to the river from the afternoon today Tuesday 01/10/2024 onwards. We expect the river to remain high throughout the next few days and flooding to gardens, driveways or outhouses is possible close to the river. Our forecasts indicate that flooding inside properties isn't likely and therefore flood warnings are not expected to be issued. We are constantly monitoring river levels and have staff in the field checking for blockages and clearing weedscreens. Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. This message will be updated online and on FloodLine by 17:00 on 02/10/2024, or before if the situation changes.
