Flood alert
River Trent in Derbyshire
Forecast rising river levels may lead to flooding today.
Flooding is possible from the afternoon of Sunday 25 October.
Areas most at risk are low-lying agricultural land and roads including Willington, Barrow upon Trent, Swarkestone, Bargate Lane and the access roads to Willington Meadows, the Twyford Village access road, Church Lane at Barrow, and Ingleby Lane. Further light rainfall is forecast over the next 24 hours. River levels at the Willington and Shardlow gauges are forecast to remain high until at least 27/10/2026.
We are closely monitoring the situation & monitoring river levels and rainfall.
Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water & avoid using low-lying footpaths near local watercourses.
This message will be updated by 17:00PM on Sunday 25 October or as the situation changes.

Storm overflows whose water reaches this gauge on the mapped river network, nearest first by distance along the river. The status is each water company's monitor: it says whether an overflow is discharging, not how much or what it contains.
8 storm overflows are traced upstream of this gauge, the nearest 420 m away along the river. 0 report discharging now, 8 report not discharging.

22 other overflows within 6 km are downstream of this gauge or on another branch of the river network, so they are not listed.
These are the water companies' monitor statuses; a spill does not by itself explain a change in the gauge level. River connections and distances are traced on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels. Sewage & storm overflows →
