Flood alerts issued in Derbyshire

Flood alerts have been issued for parts of Derbyshire.

The Environment Agency has issued flood alerts for parts of Derbyshire following recent heavy and persistent rainfall.

The alerts - meaning flooding is possible and advising residents to be prepared - are in force for parts of the River Wye, upper River Dove and lower River Derwent.

Rising levels on the River Wye mean flooding of low-lying agricultural land is possible in the Ashford and Bakewell areas, while the agency has issued a precautionary alert on the upper River Dove and Henmore Brook.

For the lower River Derwent, flooding of low-lying agricultural land and roads is possible in Church Wilne, Draycott and Wilne Lane between Draycott and Sawley, the agency said.
