The post read: “Welney wash road is now FLOODED and level of water will be displayed on the flashing depth signs once they activate.

“Expect between two to six inches [of water] on the road and currently increasing.”

In March, the Environment Agency wanted to hear public views on when a barrier could be installed to protect the road in 2021.
