Flood Warning Info - River Chater in Ketton

Storm Henk has brought heavy rain in the River Chater catchment, which has fallen onto already saturated ground. Rain will continue into the evening of Tuesday 2nd January. This is causing the River Chater to rise, and is forecast to continue to rise through tonight and into tomorrow. Low lying areas near to the river are already flooded, and we now expect properties to be affected from early evening onwards. Properties on Church Road in Ketton are expected to be affected first. The rainfall associated with Storm Henk has mostly fallen, but river levels will continue to rise overnight. 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 16:00 on 3rd January, or before if 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.

Heavy rain has been falling on the River Chater catchment over the past 24 hours, and is expected to continue over night, 24th December. The rising river levels have already caused flooding of low lying land and roads in the Ketton Area, and due to the deteriorating weather conditions we now expect properties to be affected from the 24th December onwards. Low lying properties near the river are most at risk. The river is forecast to continue to rise and peak overnight with the impacts likely to last through tomorrow. Remain safe and be aware of your local surroundings, and avoid contact with flood water. Avoid riverside paths and please stay away from river embankments. Our staff are out in the area to check the flood defences, clear blockages, and assist the emergency services and council.
