Get flood warnings by phone, text or email
Heavy rain is currently falling in the Wootton Brook catchment and will continue throughout this evening, Sunday 24th November. This is causing the Wootton Brook to rise and is forecast to continue to rise through the night. Low lying areas near to the Brook are already flooded and we now expect properties to be affected this evening onwards. Properties on Shoal Creek close to the Wootton Brook in Northampton are expected to be affected first. Further heavy rainfall is forecast for this evening, Sunday 24th November, and therefore river levels are expected to remain high over the next few days. 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 Monday 25th November, or before if the situation changes.
Flood warning area: Collingtree, Merefield and Shelfeys part of Northampton including Turnberry Lane, Belfry Lane, Shoal Creek, Medinah Close and Swallow Close.
