Flood Warnings in North Derbyshire

Monday, September 24th 2012 01:00

There are flood warnings for the River Rother and the River Hipper in Chesterfield.

Persistent heavy rain fall has led to rising river levels and it is expected to continue to rise through this afternoon and into this evening.

The Highways Agency are urging drivers to be extra careful in the wet conditions.  A spokesperson said: "There are times during sudden and torrential downpours when standing water can collect on carriageways and residual water can result in very thick spray.  Drivers should slow down in wet conditions and take extra care.  Driving too quickly through water can cause aquaplaning and loss of control of your vehicle which can lead to accidents."
