Flood warnings and alerts are in place across the Midlands especially for Leicestershire and Lincolnshire areas.
Please check you flood risk and do not drive through flood water as 30cm can move your vehicle.
Latest information here.

@Rubonist Sadly its the presumption in favour of development, not if the area is known to flood!

This unfortunately isn't unique,& I'd be interested to see the rationale of those who signed it off(at all levels)🤔cc @floodmary

For thousands of years this permanent pasture has been ridge and furrow to aid drainage and has not been built on because it always floods. Work has now just started here on a huge new Didcot housing development and immediately it floods. Why as a country are we getting thicker?

@floodmary Just to point out that following severe flooding in Carlisle in 2005 the at-risk area had defences built to the 2005 flood standard of protection.
Storm Desmond in 2015 defeated those defences.
New homes built behind C:B justified defences are not 'safe'

Very concerning research by Aviva. You cannot build a house to #flood!
One in nine new homes in England built in areas of flood risk, study shows theguardian.com/environment/20…
