River levels are rising at the South Wigston river gauge as a result of persistent rainfall. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland is possible to begin between 12:00 and 14:00 today, 29/03/2024. Areas most at risk are low-lying agricultural land and roads including the farmland in Great Glen, Kilby Bridge, South Wigston and Blaby as well as the road at Crow Mills.
Further light rainfall is forecast over the next 24 hours. We expect river levels to remain high until 31/03/2024.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are patrolling watercourses in the area and liaising with emergency services.
Please avoid using low-lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low-lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. Avoid contact with flood water.
This message will be updated by 21:00 on 29/03/2024, or as the situation changes.
