Flood alert for Tributaries in South Derbyshire

Get flood warnings by phone, text or email

River levels remain high but steady at the Belper Whitemoor Lane river gauge as a result of rainfall and snowmelt associated with Storm Bert. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland remains possible. Areas most at risk are low-lying agricultural land and roads around the tributaries to the River Derwent and River Trent in South Derbyshire, including Black Brook, Coppice Brook, Markeaton Brook, Chaddeston Brook, Wilne Drain, Cuttle Brook, Doles Brook, Ramsley Brook and Carr Brook.

We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff have been patrolling watercourses in the area.

Please plan driving routes to avoid low-lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded and avoid contact with flood water.

To check the status of road closures online, please visit the One Network live map.

This message will be updated by 09:00 tomorrow morning, 24/11/24, or as the situation changes.

Flood alert area: Tributaries to the River Derwent and River Trent in South Derbyshire, including Black Brook, Coppice Brook, Markeaton Brook, Chaddeston Brook, Wilne Drain, Cuttle Brook, Doles Brook, Ramsley Brook and Carr Brook.
