Flood Warning Info - Slade Brook in the Venture Park area of Kettering

Heavy rain has fallen causing the River Ise to rise. Low lying areas near to the river are already flooded and we now expect properties in the Slade Brook area to be affected this morning onwards. Properties on Stratfield Way, Holdenby and properties in Kettering Business Park in Kettering are expected to be affected first. No further rainfall is forecast, and therefore river levels are expected to fall. 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. We will be closely monitoring the situation and this message will be updated online and on FloodLine on 26/11/24, or before if the situation changes.
