Flooding expected. Take action now.

Flood Warning

Heavy rain (50mm) fell in the River Ancholme catchment Thursday 7th into Friday 8th November. This has caused the River Ancholme to rise. No further rain is forecast but river levels will remain very high. High river levels have already caused flooding to low lying land and roads. Tide lock conditions will retain the rivers at high levels. This is when the River Ancholme is unable to discharge into The Humber Estuary. We expect properties in Brigg to continue to be affected throughout today, Friday 8 November and into Saturday 9th November. Low lying properties near the river are most at risk, including Cadney Road and Manley Gardens. Remain safe and be aware of your local surroundings. 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 as the situation changes.
