Heavy rain has been seen across Cambridgeshire today, which has caused Bourges Boulevard to flood once again.

In response to the downpours, the Environmental Agency has issued flood alerts for several areas around Peterborough.

This is the lowest level of alert and means that flooding is possible.

These areas include Ramsey, Sawtry, Stamford and Bourne.

The Met Office has also issued a yellow weather warning for ice which is in effect across most of England and Scotland, including Peterborough, between Thursday and Friday (January 14-15).

"Over the last 24 hours we have seen heavy rainfall in the River Welland area. This means that the river is now rising, which has led to flooding of low lying land and roads close to the river from now onwards. We expect the river to remain high throughout today, Thursday, 14th January. Our forecasts indicate that flooding to properties is not likely and therefore flood warnings are not expected to be issued. 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 constantly monitoring river levels, and have staff in the field checking for blockages and clearing weedscreens. "
