Hide AdThe Environment Agency said: “Heavy rain over the last few days has caused river levels to rise on the River Nene. In combination with the high tide the river will be unable to discharge into the sea, resulting in tide lock conditions.
“This is likely to lead to localised flooding at North Bank. It is expected this flood warning will remain in force till at least Saturday. Whilst the flood warning is in force the local authority will close North Bank.”
