River levels remain high, but are beginning to fall at the Pillings Lock river gauge as a result of heavy rainfall. Consequently, the risk of flooding remains. Areas most at risk are Barrow upon Soar. No significant rainfall is forecast over the next 48 hours. We expect river levels to remain high throughout today, 07/01/25, but likely to fall over the next 48 hours. We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are patrolling watercourses in the area. Please seek specialist advice before cleaning or repairing after flood damage, avoid contact with flood water and avoid using low-lying footpaths near local watercourses. To check the status of road closures online, please visit the One Network live map. This message will be updated by this evening, 07/01/25, or as the situation changes.
