Wainfleet Evacuation

Due to over-topping and the potential for breaching, a small number of properties in Wainfleet have been evacuated: in total less than 100 homes. This has been done entirely as a precautionary measure, so that if there was to be damage to river banks that did cause flooding over night, people would not have to be moved during the hours of darkness.

Other information

Dangerous standing water or fallen trees blocking roads and footpaths can be reported by calling 101.

Flooding is likely to affect some bus and rail journeys across the county. Check before you travel. Visit LincsBus or National Rail Enquiries.

Say no to rogue traders:

  • Always ask for a written quote and contract for the work.
  • Make sure to get all contact details for the trader, including their name, address, phone number and/or email address.
  • Don’t feel pressure to make a quick decision.
  • Not sure? Don’t open the door!

If you do require any emergency repairs, make sure to go with a reputable trader. Check online reviews and ask friends and family for local recommendations before agreeing to have works carried out.
