River levels are rising at the Bedford river gauge as a result of persistent rainfall in the catchment. Consequently, flooding of property, roads and farmland is possible overnight. We expect flooding to affect Meadow Lane at Cardington, Water Lane at Renhold, Old Mills Cottage and New Road at Great Barford, Church Street and Ford Lane at Tempsford and Great North Road between Roxton and Tempsford. We expect river levels to continue to rise slowly and there are currently high levels occurring around Roxton due to the River Ivel meeting rising levels on the Bedford Ouse . Our incident response staff are checking defences. Avoid contact with flood water and move possession and valuables off the ground or to safety. Property owners with property level resilience are advised to install it. This message will be updated tomorrow morning, Monday 1 February, or as the situation changes.
