Flood warning in place for South Forty Foot Drain affecting Bicker Fen, Surfleet Fen, Pinchbeck North Fen, Northgate and Bourne North Fen

A flood warning remains in place for parts of the area.

The Environment Agency has issued a warning for isolated properties and villages in the east of the South Forty Foot Drain.

The affected areas include Northgate and Bourne North Fen.

A statement on the Government website says that river levels remain high following the downpour of rain brought by Storm Babet over the weekend.

It adds: “Catchments are expected to react and river levels rise throughout Tuesday and into Wednesday. Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. We are monitoring river levels and have staff in the field checking for and clearing blockages in this location.”

Flood alerts have also been issued for Lower Glen and Bourne Eau System, Lower Welland, and the wider area of the South Forty Foot.
