Lower River Soar in Leicestershire

River levels are rising at the Pillings Lock river gauge as a result of heavy rainfall. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland is expected to begin between 20:00 and 22:00 today, 23/02/25. Areas most at risk are low-lying agricultural land and roads including Slash Lane at Sileby and the Mountsorrel to Sileby road. We expect river levels to remain high until Tuesday, 25/02/25. We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are patrolling watercourses in the area. Please plan driving routes to avoid low-lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded and avoid using low-lying footpaths near local watercourses.
