Leicestershire: Flood disruption continues after heavy rainfall

Sileby Volunteer Flood Wardens said Churchill Road in Thurmaston was also closed.

The heavy rainfall came after the Met Office issued yellow and amber weather warnings covering the East Midlands.

Phil Morrish, a local weather expert, said some parts of the county saw between 30mm and 75mm of rainfall on Thursday.

He said: “This is totally unprecedented.

“I’ve never experienced anything like it before.”

The Environment Agency had issued three flood alerts for the Leicester area but only one – for Braunstone Town – remained in place at 09:35 BST on Friday.
