The Nottingham parks and places closed this weekend due to flooding

Flood warnings remain in place for Nottingham today (Friday, January 5) after Storm Henk brought water levels on the River Trent to their highest since 2000. 

Nottinghamshire County Council yesterday (Thursday, January 4) declared a major incident due to flooding, warning members of the public to stay away from swollen rivers. 

Key tributaries that feed into the River Trent, including the River Derwent, the River Soar and the River Dove, have already reached their peaks and high water levels will now pass down the Trent, which is likely to lead to flooding to properties and roads.
