Heavy rain has been falling on the River Welland catchment over the past 36 hours. The rising river levels have already caused flooding of low lying land and roads in the Welland Catchment, and due to the deteriorating weather conditions we now expect properties around Harringworth to be affected from the early morning on Thursday 24th December onwards. Low lying properties near the river are most at risk. The river is forecast to continue to rise and the impacts are likely to last through Thursday.
