Its a flood plain and its that for a reason, Slash Lane has ALWAYS flooded and in the early 80's it flooded every year and in fact the Barrow Slabs used to be flooded as well and this year its not got that high so stop trying to make out its so bad, its not.
@@mikesheldon1957 didn't make out it was bad, just saying more could be done to make it less so, nip into Sileby and ask those flooded home owners if it's bad
It's not called a flood plain for nothing...........
@@thebrowns1017 That's exactly what it is, and if the gullys and ditches were cleared regularly the water would be able to get away a bit more
see you on the next flood.🙂
It's the Soar Valley, what do you expect? It's always flooded, where do you think all the water is going to go? It's a flood plain, the clue is in the name.
to the trent that's where.
@@brendanpells912 Oh yes, missed that one didn't I, when it comes off the plain it needs to go somewhere and if the drains were clear there wouldn't be as much going elsewhere
Big problem is you youngsters live in today. There have always been floods and we learned to live with them and didn't stupidly try to drive modern cars through them. My village square was flooded four or five times a year and still does but not quite as badly since an old mill gate was taken down and now the water floods the meadows below enriching them.
@@fredaewalker2665 I'm no youngster, but I know what you mean
What can the government do? Raise the road 4 feet? That would cost $$$$ mind you the transport costs for the aggregate wouldn't be much with the quarry just 1 mile away!
No, just clear culverts and ditches out more often, in the Jan/Feb floods of this year streets in Loughborough were covered and flooded houses, it was later found to be the road drains blocked up.
@@NarrowboatSuperBabsolutely. I was born and raised in Burton on Trent in the early 1960’s and floods were a frequent occurrence, sometimes up to 6 feet in the Trent’s flood plain. The river had to be regularly dredged to reduce this problem. The Soar flows into the Trent, if the latter isn’t able to cope with the extra water from the former then flooding in and around Charnwood occurs. Then there are the brooks in Loughborough feeding the Soar and canal which exacerbates the problem. The solution is to dredge the Trent downstream from the Soar/Trent junction, then along the Soar and clear the canal. Finally, the old fashioned drainage ditches need clearing or dug.
I have lived in the soar valley since 1964, its always been a problem, but much worse now, they need to dredge the rivers and clean out the dykes, I think down Slash they were doing something to the dykes along the side of the road a year or so back, but still the same not a lot of rain and we are back to square one, stupid EU laws prevent dredging! the local authorities are USLESS!
Holland have figured out how to contain flood water . WTH Britain
I travel all over the country… the leaves that fall during autumn are not cleared away … that’s one problem … culverts and drainage systems are constantly backed up all year round… cash strapped Britain… is only going to get worse, it needs to be Britain first when it comes to vital infrastructure…
they have more flood gates.
@@thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit3882 we have floods in summer too.
@ I know, I live it… I live on the canal …
I drove round it 2 nights ago when I was working at Loughborough Station on the slow lines … at the viaduct near Pilings, I looked off the slow lines and there’s wild pennywart everywhere, massive clumps of it… if you saw it with your own eyes you would shake your head in disgust … yeah, I covered what’s happening in my neck of the woods in a video I dropped 3 days ago … I reckon it’s going to get worse…
What's it looking like down at Pillings.
@ the ware was incredibly active, I’ve been working nights … the debris is backing up … there’s islands of Pennywart choking up under and around the railway viaduct …
It’s chaos again today,December 9th
@urbanrider429 And yet more rain forecast, just had an alert for Sawley Marina, levels at 2.3 by 10am tomorrow.
the owner has to think positively, it will be better than it was, this is an opportunity to make the boat he always wanted, good luck, hope he has insurance cover,

@@bishopkinlyside8477 Thank you Cliff,
Was the boat and operator at 6:45 ever accounted for and charged with this? Why on earth would you slam into the canal gates like that? 😡😡😡
@@Rheilffordd Not sure, would only happen if reported and had the name or index number of the boat.

New subscriber, very interesting, thank you for filming 😊
@@SharonRose-d4i Thank you.
Glad his boat finally has got rescued. It's interesting that a third party rescue organisation with the right tools, equipment & experience, showed more care to the owner of the narrowboat and the users of the waterway, than the Canals & River Trust (CRT) did (you know, those guys 'in charge' post-British Waterways, whose CEO Richard 'I know quite alot about trains' Parry, keep asking for a 'raise' in levies from boat owners, whilst saying that he may have to 'shut down' parts of the Canal Network due to 'not having enough money'). Parry should be sued for gross neglegence
Believe it or not, we actually have eyes that see the video, we have brains that work out whats happening, so why do we need a pathetic old saddo who loves the sound of his own voice spewing out crap , get a life you cretin
Stop covering Earth with concrete tarmac cement tiles to let rain soak through. Stop breeding more than two kids and expecting there to be enough of everything for them ! Common sense !

It's still bad at Crow Mills in South Wigston and stupid people are still driving through it!!!
There is no money to be made clearing drainage ditches on farmland or by the side of roads. Money makes the world go round.
When is the Environment Agency going to wake up and start dredging the rivers? Don't tell me the money isn't there because it is, it's being spent ( wasted ) in the wrong places. Has anybody thought about getting together nationally with the other places that are suffering with flooding every year, and starting a class action against the EA?
The Environment agency is a complete waste of tax payers money. Full of over paid incompetence.
Dont build on the flood plain!
Build new homes on flood planes and everything around suffers (floods) as well as no maintenance on rivers canals etc
Straps * not "strops"
@@doubleL_S My bad, however, in the fire service we called them strops
How scary must it be on a canal boat when it's serious flooding!?
There a lot of issues but ultimately that's what happens when it rains hard😂😂
if you live near a river buy some wellies because its golng to flood. to many homes are built on flood plains and then the occupants winge about getting wet homes. they restict the watercourses and then hope that will not overflow the banks. you cannot beat mother nature she always wins.
They keep building new housing estates making more surface run off 🤦
When you drive/walk round these new sites there is hardly a blade of grass to be seen, there must be a way of storing this water then releasing it back into the system later on.
Climate change? It’s the wettest EVER RECORDED. Penny dropped yet?
Driving through the countryside and fields of cabbages under water and large puddles like lakes and ducks swimming in among the cabbages is the saddest part of this year of the war that is being waged against us all around the globe is a spiritual war against humanity and the creation of our own world is biblical prophecy of understanding scripture is not the religion that is behind all the wars and bloodshed and battles that we have been deceived by the world many different cultures and origins of worshipping the gods of our earth are the gods of Egypt they have manifested themselves in different ways and cultures belief’s and the number of different religions and faiths are all bowing down to the one god of this earth is lucifer and his principalities are the fallen angels who have sown their own seeds into the world and the Nephilim race of giants who are the kingdom’s of the earth and their empires that have evolved over centuries to become a new generation and world order in comparison with their ancestors Egypt and Egyptian practices of worship of slavery this is the new world that they have planned for us to live in a global society where Pharisees have fattened themselves and their families and created laws to enslave the people who have fallen back into captivity after being brought out of captivity by the Creator and into the promised land but sadly the people brought their practices and worship rituals and ceremonies and festivals with them and started to worship in secret to their inner circle of believers and servants of their gods and lucifer This was the truth behind the story of Israel and Jerusalem and the teachings of the temple in Jerusalem that the Pharisees were secretly involved with rituals and ceremonies and festivals that were not in the spirit of Jesus Christ to expose them to accused them of turning his Father’s house into a market place for a den of thieves and vipers who were fattening themselves and their families and not taking care of the people whom they were supposed to serve. This story has evolved into a glorified global wealthy marketplace where religious institutions have exploited the power of religion to deceive their own citizens in their respective religions. This is biblical prophecy of Jesus Christ to call the people out of the temple and teachings of himself to demonstrate the truth of the Holy Land and the Faith is Father is not a religion but sadly man has created more belief systems and governments systems of man made laws that are designed to create division and separation and conflict and confusion over religion and belief systems. Now they are reformed into one global order and belief system that is the anti Christian faith. This was what Jesus Christ was exposing for them to have him arrested and tried and sentenced to death on the cross and this was prophetic and written in the Bible Old Testament that all beliefs have been aware of the only thing they don’t accept the death and resurrection and that Jesus lives on that he has accented to heaven and he will return to reclaim the world from the devil and his kingdom of angels and people who have sold their souls to him. We are now witness to revelation unfortunately unfolding before our eyes. Jesus Christ is returning soon to fulfill the Holy Father who is the creator and not a religion that we have been led to believe. The world has been built on lies and false gods and belief’s and practices of paganism and occultism and satanic faith that is hidden behind all the existing religions and faith is not a temple built upon the world but built upon the word for the Lord Jesus Christ is the word and truth and he is the only true teachings and good shepherd is the only way to overcome this world is through faith in him and his love and trust no other man or religion is the key to wisdom in understanding the truth in the Bible. Amen 🙏 Amen 🙏 Amen 🙏
I live in Sileby and it’s been getting worse every year,even more concerning is that it’s early this year to start flooding.The traffic jams are ridiculous
Just been having that exact conversation, very early this year, hope the ground dries out before we get the February/March rains.
@@NarrowboatSuperBit’s ridiculous,I came through broome lane this morning and it’s flooded again as is cossington
I wonder what Cosby is like. They also have a brook running through the village.
Problem is these waterways are left without any maintenance, not cleared of any debris that has built up over time, then we get a heavy downpour and it all gets washed downstream until it blocks itself and the water rises in rapid time.
We get floods all the time here, I live in Gloucestershire and close to where the river Thames begins, it gets held back here so Henley On Thames doesn't flooded, sad state of affairs
Yes, we can't have Henley getting too wet
@@NarrowboatSuperB Think they got it quite bad in 2012 but nothing like we had here
glad made my journey on sunday afternoon before the rain came again
Some of those houses look quite new, I wouldn’t buy a house in Sileby, too risky
They are newish, nowhere for the water to drain now as Tarmac drives and block paving replaced the grassed areas.
My home county, now 1,300 km away. Thanks for the updates, could you fly a drone over Sileby Mill? The river course there is confusing. That siren is a public nuisance, as if people don't have to put up with so much already.
I will see what i can do drone wise, it can be a confusing stretch, more so for first timers, one of the cuts used to feed the Mill.
There’s 2 reasons why the floods have get worse. new homes being built and the runoff water is directed into the drains. And the sluice gates on the rivers and canals are never operated anymore, which is the key factor of stopping flood. This was the reason why Loughborough flooded last year. It’s cutbacks and not the climate.
@delhog161 agree completely and imho done on purpose.
I think somewhere along the line the climate plays a part, this area bears the brunt in Feb., March time of year, this is very early this time, as for new homes, spot on, Tarmac drives, low maintenance block paved front gardens, as you say, nowhere for the water to soak in at its own pace.
New homes are to blame we in Broughton Astley never had flooding as bad until over 300 New homes built on the surrounding higher ground now the middle of the village floods all the time from the runoff & the brook can't cope
Still it´s raining more water in shorter time and it is the climate.
