Wellingborough’s Splash Park is under water as is the car park, home to the Embankment Cafe – a mobile trailer that has been towed from the floods.
A flood warning issued by the Environment Agency has been in place for 48-hours across much of the Nene Valley, including the stretch from Wellingborough to Thrapston.
Local forecaster, NN Weather, says ‘30 – 40mm of rain, perhaps as much as 60mm’, is expected.
Flood warnings remain in place across Northamptonshire. Keep up top date with flood warnings on the Environment Agency website.
