Flooding risks in Bleasby Parish

Update at 0930 on Friday 22nd January 2021

Despite the fact that the Trent is slowly rising as the flood waters from Derbyshire enter the river, there is little risk of flooding beyond Gibsmere.

The road to Fiskerton has had to be closed because of flooding at Ham Bridge but all other roads are currently open.

Please avoid entering flood water. A car can be carried away in 30 cm (1 foot), of water and walkers can be swept off their feet in 15 cms (6 inches) of flowing water.

The Trent is expected to rise further during the day and water is now backing up our Dykes and footpaths.

Walking alongside them will become increasingly slippery and difficult.

Please keep an eye on the Bleasby Flood Group website page (click here) and Bleasby Village facebook, for further updates.

Thnak you, from Bleasby Flood Action Group.
