Flash floods batter East Midlands

Parts of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire have been flooded just days after areas in the West Midlands were deluged in water as heavy rain fell over the county.

There are reports of localised flooding in Gedling, Netherfield and West Bridgford after rainfall this afternoon.

Schools were closed and emergency forces responded to hundreds of calls after parts of Birmingham and the Black Country were left submerged on Tuesday evening.
