Flooding expected. Take action now.

Flood warning

Storm Henk has brought heavy rain in the Swaton catchment, which has fallen onto already saturated ground. Rain will continue overnight on Tuesday 2nd January. This is causing the South Forty Foot to rise, and is forecast to continue to rise through tonight and into tomorrow. Low lying areas near to the river are already flooded, and we now expect properties to be affected from early evening onwards. Properties on Milking Nook Drove and Spalding road in Bourne are expected to be affected first. Please avoid contact with flood water. Our staff are out in the area to check the flood defences, clear blockages, and assist the emergency services and council. We will be closely monitoring the situation and this message will be updated online and on FloodLine by 16:00 on 3rd January, or before if the situation changes.
