Flood Warning Info - Areas near the Dallington Brook and Brampton Branch in Northampton

Heavy rain is currently falling in the Dallington Brook catchment and will continue throughout the evening of Monday 23 September. This is causing the river to rise and is forecast to continue to rise through the night. Low lying areas near to the river are already flooded and we now expect properties in Dallington and Spencer area of Northampton to be affected this evening onwards. Low lying properties near the river on Brook Lane and Dallington Green in Dallington are expected to be affected first. Further heavy rainfall is forecast for the evening of 23 September 2024 and therefore river levels will remain high throughout the night and into tomorrow morning. 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 by 19:00 on 23/09/2024, or before if the situation changes.
