An Environment Agency Flood Alert remains in place for the Lower Nene near Peterborough.

The alert said: “Over the last week we have seen heavy rainfall in the River Nene area. River levels remain high, which has already led to flooding of low lying land and roads close to the river. We expect the river to remain high for the next few days.

“Our forecasts indicate that flooding to properties is not likely and therefore flood warnings are not expected to be issued, with the exception of the issued B1040.

“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.”
