A town river has burst its banks causing flooding to nearby properties.
In Grantham, the banks of the River Witham have reportedly broken along Belton Lane, and along the back of Sainsbury’s.
There were some concerns, reported online, that water may head towards Manthorpe Lane, although other nearby roads such as 5 Gates were reported to be “passable”.

Social media reports say that flooding had reached the nearby community centre.
It comes on a day when flooding has battered the county and there are warnings in place that the water could turn to ice overnight, leading to further chaos tomorrow.
Resident Tracy Swann said: “Manthorpe Road and Brook Street are open, but Belton Lane and Hill Avenue are closed, you can’t turn on to Belton Lane.”
A Lincolnshire County Council spokesperson confirmed it had received a number of calls from the Belton Lane area and had a fire appliance out at a property there.
