By Mike Wright
A flood alert has been issued for the Upper River Colne over the weekend.The Environment Agency gave the warning yesterday as a combination of melting snow and rainfall caused rivers to swell in the area.
The organisation said the river’s level had peaked yesterday in the London Colney and Colney Heath areas but remained high during the night.
It said it would be monitoring the situation as further showers were forecast for today.
