The Environment Agency has issued a flood warning after the bad weather earlier this week.

It said: “The heavy and persistent rainfall that fell throughout Thursday and into Friday morning in the River Nene catchment has caused river levels to rise.

“During periods of 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 that this flood warning will remain in force for at least the next 24 hours. Whilst the flood warning is in force the local authority will close North Bank. Diversionary routes will be put in place.”
