River levels remain high but are beginning to fall at the Pinxton river gauge as a result of persistent heavy rainfall. Areas most at risk are Pye Bridge, including Erewash Street, and Mill Meadow Farm, and Gardens. Further light rainfall is forecast over the next 12 hours. River levels are falling, but still pose a flood risk. We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are patrolling watercourses in the area and liaising with emergency services. Please plan driving routes to avoid low-lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded and avoid contact with flood water. This message will be updated by 08:00 tomorrow morning, 21/10/23, or as the situation changes.

Flooding is expected in this area. This means properties are at risk of flooding. Please take action to protect yourself and your property and monitor local weather and river conditions. Avoid contact with, walking or driving through flood water. Consider activating any property flood protection products you may have. Environment Agency Flood Warning Officers set the river or tidal levels that have triggered this message.
