Full story: Major incident in Derbyshire - Storm Babet wreaks havoc in a day of flooding chaos
A day of flooding chaos across Derbyshire thanks to Storm Babet - closing many of the county's major roads and causing severe disruption - has culminated in all of its local councils and emergency services declaring a major incident today (Friday, October 20). This has led them jointly to advise people not to travel unless essential from now until further information is available later in the weekend, and to continue to watch weather and flooding updates.
A total of 83 flood warnings and 45 flood alerts were in place in the county by 3pm and an amber weather warning is in place for more rain from now until 6am tomorrow (Saturday, October 21) when rainy conditions are forecast to ease.
In Derby, flooding was reported around Alfreton Road and Pektron island leading to Alfreton Road being impassable and closed later in the afternoon. Other closures were Locko Road, Markeaton Lane and Morley Road in Oakwood. The Raynesway waste tip site closed early and the Cathedral Swing Bridge was closed.
In Baslow, Derbyshire Dales District Council posted a video of water gushing down the A619 in front of the Wheatsheaf pub threatening properties on either side of the road. The A623 between Calver and Baslow was also closed.
