Lincolnshire flood alerts upgraded by Environment Agency
David Manby, flood resilience team leader at the Environment Agency, said: "We have been working hard to improve the accuracy and the reach of our flood warning service to better protect people."The changes include a new flood warning area covering the South Forty-Foot Drain in Boston, as well as splitting the River Witham flood warning area in Grantham to ensure better accuracy. According to the Environment Agency, data from the January flooding showed that some Grantham residents received flood warnings, despite not being impacted - meaning they were unnecessarily disturbed.More than 800 homes have now been moved to a new "wider" flood warning zone, a spokesperson added.

Bradford-on-Avon 'not being abandoned' after £11m scheme u-turn
The Environment Agency says it is not abandoning town hit by heavy flooding after scrapping a proposed £11m defence in Wiltshire, was badly flooded in January 2024 before being devastated by Storm Bert in agency said a permanent £11m flood scheme for the town is now "unviable", adding it is committed to "community resilience and better flood warning".Ian Withers, the Environment Agency's area director for Wessex, said: "It would be irresponsible to spend that kind of money that wouldn't necessarily protect the town from the sort of flooding we've seen in the last two years." The River Avon has burst in banks in Bradford-on-Avon on numerous occasions in recent years, flooding nearby roads and Withers added the threat of a flood is "tripled" there because:It has a "huge catchment which drains through the town","Huge volume of water which goes underground, that floods properties from the grounds upwards",And town is in a "steep-sided bowl".The agency said it has ruled out the planned permanent flood scheme, which involved low walls and pumping stations, as prospective costs have more than doubled since it was proposed in 2017. Mr Withers said the "impact of climate change" has also caused the agency to re-think its plans."Originally the plan was valid for the sort of weather we were having associated with the climate, before we started seeing the impact of climate change."Now we know the river can run through that town at the volume, speed and height that it does – we've seen it every winter for the last two of three years – the game's changed. We need to modernise our thinking and put in place a better system."He added: "We're absolutely not abandoning the town or walking away." On Monday hundreds of people attended a special event held to provide information on how to protect homes and businesses from flooding in event was organised by the Environment Agency, Wiltshire Council and Wessex Water.

Yorkshire Water applies to bolster supplies from rivers
Yorkshire Water wants to use river water to bolster its supplies after reservoir levels dropped to almost 50%.The company has applied to the Environment Agency for drought orders allowing it to extract additional water from the River Ouse, near York, and River Wharfe, near has also asked for permission to limit the the amount of water released from 12 of its reservoirs back into Wharfe, Aire, and Worth river Kaye, director of water at Yorkshire Water, said if approved the orders would help to "reduce the pressure on our reservoirs and help to extend vital water supplies through summer". Yorkshire has endured its driest and warmest spring in 132 years, resulting in a hosepipe ban being introduced across the region earlier this approved the order on the Ouse would allow the firm to draw an additional 60,000 cubic metres per day at Moor Monkton when the river Ouse flows at Skelton are below 1,000,000 cubic metres per the Wharfe the order would enable Yorkshire Water to abstract from the river the full volume of water released into the Wharfe from the Grimwith reservoir when conditions Kaye said: "It's not a decision we've made lightly, but it is the next essential step to protect water supplies for our customers and to protect the environment after an extremely dry year so far and the declaration of drought in our region."Commenting on the application to limit flow from 12 reservoirs, he added: "Under the drought permits these reservoirs will still provide compensation flows to downstream watercourses to protect the environment, but the flows will be reduced to keep water back for supply to customers."If approved, the drought permits will be in place for up to six months. Yorkshire Water boss Nicola Shaw said the current hosepipe ban, which prevents people using hosepipes for activities such as watering the garden, washing the car or filling a paddling pool, was likely to stay in place until Monday the firm said while recent rain across the region was "very welcome" it was "not going to improve things to a level where reservoir stocks recover".When the hosepipe ban was announced the firm said reservoir levels stood at just over 50% - a record low for the time of the year and "significantly below" the average for early July, which is nearer 80%.
