Residents in Whitwick and Thringstone were issued with a flood warning following heavy rain over the past 24 hours.

But this was removed this afternoon (Thursday).

The Gov.UK website orginally said levels were rising at the Whitwick downstream river gauge as a result of persistent heavy rainfall.

Consequently, flooding of property was possible from 10:30am today (Thursday).
