Flood Warning issued on 10 Nov 2019 20:10
River Ancholme, Old River Ancholme
Heavy rain fell in the River Ancholme catchment on Thursday 7th into Friday 8th November. This caused the River Ancholme to rise. It has been dry over the weekend although rivers remain very responsive. Further rainfall is forecast overnight and into Monday 11th November. This flood warning remains in place until the rainfall tonight has passed and we can inspect the river banks to assess damage. Please stay safe and aware of your local surroundings. Please avoid contact with flood water. We will be closely monitoring the situation and this message will be updated on Monday 11th November or as the situation changes.
Flood Warning issued on 10 Nov 2019 11:36
River Ancholme, Old River Ancholme
Heavy rain fell in the River Ancholme catchment Thursday 7th into Friday 8th November. This has caused the River Ancholme to rise. No rainfall is forecast for today Sunday 10th November, however further showers are possible over the next few days. High levels in the Ancholme are expected to result in tidelock conditions from about 5pm on Sunday 10th November. This means that during high tide the River Ancholme is unable to discharge into the Humber estuary and will cause localised flooding for up to 3 hours after high tide. Low lying properties near the river are most at risk, including Cadney Road and Manley Gardens. Remain safe and be aware of your local surroundings. Please avoid contact with flood water. We will be closely monitoring the situation and this message will be updated as the situation changes.

This means that during high tide the River Ancholme is unable to discharge into the Humber estuary and will cause localised flooding for up to 3 hours after high tide. Low lying properties near the river are most at risk, including Cadney Road and Manley Gardens. Remain safe and be aware of your local surroundings. Please avoid contact with flood water.

River Ancholme, Old River Ancholme
Heavy rain has been falling on the River Ancholme catchment and the high levels in the Ancholme are expected to result in tidelock conditions from about 6am onwards on Saturday morning 9 November. This means that during high tide the River Ancholme is unable to discharge into the Humber estuary and will cause localised flooding for up to 3 hours after high tide. Due to the tide lock we now expect higher levels than yesterday and properties in Brigg to be affected. Low lying properties near the river are most at risk, including Cadney Road and Manley Gardens. Remain safe and be aware of your local surroundings. Please avoid contact with flood water. Our staff are out in the area to check the flood defences, clear blockages, and assist the emergency services and council.

Heavy rain (50mm) fell in the River Ancholme catchment Thursday 7th into Friday 8th November. This has caused the River Ancholme to rise.
