Flood warning for Areas near the River Nene from Elton to Wansford

Get flood warnings by phone, text or email

Over the last 48 hours we have seen heavy rain in the River Nene catchment. This has caused the River Nene to rise significantly and is forecast to continue to rise, remaining high over the next few days. Low lying areas near the River are already flooded and we now expect properties and access to Yarwell Mill Country Park to be affected. Other areas including properties on London Road in Wansford, and Mill Lane, Waters View and Marina Terrace in Yarwell, may also be affected. 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 online and on FloodLine on Tuesday 26th November, or before if the situation changes.

Flood warning area: Areas near the River Nene from Elton to Wansford including Elton, Yarwell and Wansford.
