Residents ‘fear the worst’ after being evacuated due to Storm Henk flooding

Residents evacuated from their homes in Northamptonshire due to flooding caused by Storm Henk have said they are “fearing the worst” about damage caused to their properties.

A flood warning is in place for the River Nene at Billing Aquadrome and the surrounding industrial parks near Northampton, with the area having previously been given a severe flood warning, meaning there was a risk to life.

While the severe warning was downgraded on Wednesday morning, said flooding should still be expected in the area over the coming days.
