Devastating flooding in Nottinghamshire - Newark Collingham Farndon - Captured in Drone Footage.2024

Great video. Better coverage than the official broadcasters. You should do more local news videos for Notts and Lincs.

Wow thank you for those kind words. Today I’ve been to do some more filming about the floods at Dunham Bridge and someone has actually tried to drive through the flood which I have the car on video 🤣 this should be out tomorrow 👍

Many thanks for the video of Newark and Fardon area, You delt with the area better than TV reporters, I feel so sorry for the people in the area, my late wife and I spent a lot of time in and around Fardon and Newark boating up and down the river Trent from Nottingham, my prayers are with the residents and I do hope the river subsides quickly and things get back to normal.

To all my dear friends in Nottinghamshire and all of the UK that are so critically impacted by the floods. My prayers are being sent heavenward for your safety overall. My prayers of hope and peace fill your hearts abundantly. I cannot imagine your heartbreak at this time, I am all the way across the ocean in the US (Virginia) and I only wish I could be there to hold your hands and give you a shoulder to lean or cry upon.

@@neilrgreatestadventures There is no god and all religions are fake coded B.S control systems.. Now then... Why did the Rivers stop being dredged every year like they used to be in previous decades.. Many rivers are half the depth they used to be.. Then people blame CLIMATE CHANGE = CC = 33!!! ALL BY DESIGN. The Age of Aquarius / Aqua Rheas is upon us exactly as was planned. PS: I predicted this flooding over a year ago and even stated that it would begin around halloween. (Which it did.)

[@andrewparfrement8583]

Most house building companies are required by government and local authorities to include a flood plain when applying for permission to build. I work for a construction company just 4 miles from Newark, we have a flood defence system in place. All the fields and roads are covered with water, the new houses have been in no danger as the flood plain has worked. No politicians or local officials have received any monies. Please do your research before making silly comments.

[@sidthekid1960]

Well done,history being documented. Looks very much like Swanpool in Lincoln 100 years ago, where they are about to build hundreds of homes. This land is double pumped,i.e. pumped into one drain then pumped again into normal drain. Just imagine how deep the water will be not if but when this happens there.

Thank you for sharing, my heart goes out to all those affected by this flooding, my question is, how many more times will it have to flood for the government to actually get off their arses and do something about it?

Every flood is devastating to those involved and these happen every year becoming more of a problem as the FLOOD PLAINS disappear under housing developments so the same excess water has to find somewhere to go. Notice that question on your Insurance that now asks, are you nearer than X metres from a water course? That is a river, brook, drainage ditch, pond, lake etc.

[@michaeld5888]

So much of England is a flood plain so expect more as the chronic overcrowding on this island increases without control and cheap housing is thrown up at minimum cost. I doubt if there is much money left in the national kitty to do anything about improving the drainage so expect more of it. In 1875 where that mark is probably they did not have much of anything downstairs let alone carpets, expensive electric utilities or chipboard furniture so not such a problem then. Just swept the mud out and carried on with life unseen and unnoticed unlike now.

[@harryjones5260]

build more canals to drain the land better

[@wontbelongnow5567]

To all the people who say why building on flood plains still because its what we have always done since building houses. It's history just repeating its self. This next to rivers trent.

[@colingathercole391]

Who is taking the money for maintaining rivers, dikes, would that be the Environmental Agency, Internal Drainage Board, the Council, the Central Government all taking their cut but not doing the service. Question, when was the last time you saw any of these cleaning out dikes and rivers ? There is no need for these floods had any of the Government quangos had done their job we already have and are paying for. Holland is not flooded, i wonder why.

Amazingly very few people died, but stock losses were huge

[@mattybthecatalist8991]

What do folks expect when PROFIT comes before people Rivers not cleared culverts not cleared computers telling us rather people Get a grip

[@GrrMeister]

This is what happens when Rivers not dredged to comply with EU Laws !

[@GrrMeister]

EU Directive Extract The conclusion with respect to dredging operations in relation to the Habitats and Birds Directives is: their effects will be mainly indirect but not insignificant. The effects of this legislation can lead to significant delays in project approval and also to important increases in costs caused by extended needs for impact assessment. Of particular concern to the industry is the fact that impact assessment for ecological effects in marine waters may be very difficult, since the environment is so dynamic, and thus lead to further delays in the approval process.

[@dazt5831]

most rivers actually clear themselves during floods, the issue with dredging is the complete destruction of the river habitat specifically for fish and the extreme cost of not only dredging but also transporting the dredged sediment to landfill, A great example of why dredging does not work would be the mississippi river in the US where dredging occurs almost non stop everyday and has done for over 50 years (including flood defence walls and concrete channeling) but that river still very easily floods and they have the advantage of being able to dredge using barges which would not work in our rivers (too narrow and not deep enough) and evidence from those dredging operations shows a significant impact to all species using those stretches of the river from fish to plants to birds and it also causes significant sediment pollution during dredging which releases more sediment downstream, the easiest way to prevent property flooding is to simply not build on floodplains

[@CreativesClips]

Whilst yes climate change is happening because the amazon is being destroyed (this causes an imbalance in the weather), the main problem here is the fact that people continue to build on floodplains, where a river NATURALLY floods.

[@CreativesClips]

@@colingathercole391 River maintenance occurs naturally when habitat isn't built on, however many groups like the environment agency are not receiving the money as higher ups within the group are giving the cashflow to shareholders. Water companies are also in the same issue, but because they refuse to pay for sewage treatment, they dump it into the river which then fills the river up with crap and destroys habitat that maintains the river. This is what happens when the government gives the private sector control.

Re 1795 flood mark. Certainly severe floods have happened in the past but they were rare. A once in a hundred year event happens once in a hundred years. When your "once in a hundred years event " happens every year 🙃 or every couple of years, you have climate change.

[@borderlands6606]

The Trent has always flooded regularly, with records going back to the 12th century. People who buy houses with a river view, can expect to be flooded out more than once in their lifetime. The river has completely changed its course in the past, owing to flooding.
