In Lester, it's March 2nd. Here's what is happening. Heavy rain over the weekend has triggered flood warnings across northern Lestershire on this Monday morning, March 2nd. The most serious alerts where flooding is expected hit residential streets and kegworth fields along the River Sore near Silaby and Mount Surrell and a few homes around Zeus Road by Hathorne. All streets off station road and kegworth face the highest risk including Mill Lane, Bridge Fields and New Street. Areas to the north like parts of Long Lane and Hoyt Drive are also included. Meanwhile, lighter flood alerts cover low-lying spots elsewhere in the county. Residents in places like Barrow, Upon Sore, Melton, Cysten, Barkby, Blayby and Glenfield just they cautious too. Flooding already caused problems at the Morrison Silver Market in Glenfield last weekend, disrupting shoppers and local traffic. The Environment Agency is monitoring river levels closely. At Pillings Lock near Silaby and Mount Surrell, levels have peaked and started falling,

but they remain high enough for risks to homes on Houston Close, Proctor's Park Road and Mill Lane. Light rain is forecast over the next day, but officials expect no further rises in kegworth or Hathorne. Teams will keep watching, urging folks to avoid low areas and stay updated.
