Edenham Primary School children trapped by floods as major incident declared A flood left pupils trapped in a school as Leicestershire emergency services declared a 'major incident' today with multiple flood warnings.
A message from Edenham C of E School to parents at lunch time read: "We are currently in communication with the Fire Brigade who are in the village and the advice they have provided at this time is for parents not to collect children because they do not want any more vehicles getting stuck.
Edenham Church of England School had to put special measure in place with the fire brigade providing services to pick up children due to flooding in the area and to avoid cars getting stuck.
If required the fire brigade will be providing vehicles to transport children accompanied by a member of staff to an agreed safe pick up point to meet parents.
"Although the fire brigade believes the water levels are dropping at this point, they cannot predict whether it will be at a safe level in time for collection.
