Flood Warning Lifted for River Trent Tributaries, Nottinghamshire

Flood Warning Lifted: River Trent Tributaries, Nottinghamshire

The Environment Agency has confirmed that the threat of flooding on the River Trent tributaries in Nottinghamshire is no longer in place. The warning has been lifted following an improvement in weather conditions, and no further flooding is currently expected.

What Has Happened

Floodwater levels have receded across the affected tributaries in the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire area. Although the immediate danger has passed, the Environment Agency advises that standing water and debris may still be present in some locations.

Risk of Further Thunderstorms

The Environment Agency has noted there is some possibility of further thunderstorms later this week. However, confidence in this forecast is described as low. The situation is being monitored, and further alerts or warnings will be issued if conditions change.

What You Should Do

Even though the formal warning has been lifted, residents and visitors in the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire area are advised to remain cautious:

• Stay away from floodwater. Even shallow or slow-moving floodwater can be dangerous. It may conceal open manhole covers, submerged obstacles, sewage, and chemicals.
• Take care near waterways. Roads and footpaths alongside rivers and streams may still be slippery, uneven, or partially flooded. Do not take unnecessary risks.
• Do not attempt to walk or drive through standing water. The depth and condition of the ground beneath cannot always be judged by sight alone.
• Check your property for any damage caused by recent flooding, and document anything for insurance purposes if needed.

Where to Get More Information

The Environment Agency is continuing to monitor river levels across the area. You can check for the latest flood alerts and warnings directly on the Environment Agency flood monitoring service.
