Over the last 24 hours we have seen heavy rainfall in the Ruskington area. This means that the Ruskington Beck is now rising, which will lead to flooding of low-lying land and roads close to the river from the afternoon today, Tuesday 01/10/2024 onwards. We expect the river to remain high throughout the next few days and flooding to gardens, driveways or outhouses is possible close to the river.
