In a statement on Monday night, Lincolnshire Resilience Forum (LRF) said : "We are keeping a really close watch on this as it develops because we know that there might potentially be more flooding, particularly in areas which may be affected by tidal waters.” Pat Coates, of Lincolnshire Resilience Forum (LRF), said Boston and Greatford, near Stamford, had been affected by further flooding overnight.
It also said emergency services were on standby at Greatford, near Stamford, to monitor the West Glen River, which it said threatened to inundate 49 properties in the area. "We're still assessing the numbers. I haven't got the exact number of properties, but it was more than a few," he said.
In the House of Commons, environment minister Emma Hardy told MPs on Monday flooding was "a personal priority" for her, adding that the Environment Agency was particularly concerned about Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire and Nottinghamshire. "We deployed fire resources to assist with pumping to try to reduce the water levels, and we didn't have to evacuate anybody. People managed to move upstairs and they were prepared for it."
Warning of further "localised" flooding, she pledged to overhaul the government's approach to funding flood defences "to ensure the challenges facing businesses and rural and coastal communities are taken into account when delivering flood protection". He said the flood water level was receding, and teams were working to reopen roads.
