Lower Dove Brooks and Egginton Brook in Derbyshire

River levels are high at the Sutton Mill river gauge as a result of rainfall associated with Storm Bert. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland is expected throughout Saturday and into Sunday. Flooding is expected to affect low-lying land and roads adjacent to the Foston Brook, Hilton Brook and Egginton Brook. Further rainfall is forecast over the next 6 hours. We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff have been checking defences, clearing screens and actively checking river levels and the weather forecast. Please plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded and stay aware in case further warnings are issued. This message will be updated on 25/11/24, or as the situation changes.
