Emergency services have been rescuing people caught in flood water at a caravan park near Barrow upon Soar.

A severe flood warning was issued late on Monday evening by the Environment Agency. It said large scale evacuation would be required in the area. The agency said river levels were rising at the Pillings Lock river gauge as a result of heavy rainfall and rapidly melting snow.

Flooding of properties is expected to continue and the areas most at risk are Proctor's Pleasure Park near Barrow.
