Drone photography captures extent of flooding in Newark and surrounding villages

Aerial images have captured the extent of flooding which had seen multiple road closures put in place and vast swathes of land underwater.

Drone pilot John Edlin captured the images, which show floodwater in in Newark and surrounding areas.

Flood alerts remain in place for the River Trent in the district, with this escalated to warnings at Kelham Bridge, Fiskerton, Farndon, and Collingham.

The A617 between cattle market roundabout and Kelham Bridge remains closed to motorists, with much of the road submerged.

Water Levels in the River Trent also remain high at Farndon, although river levels are now beginning to fall.
