River levels remain high and steady at the Bedford river gauge as a result of persistent rainfall in the catchment over the last few days. Consequently, flooding of property, roads and farmland remains possible today, Monday 1 February. 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 remain high throughout today. Further rainfall is forecast tomorrow, which may cause levels to remain high or rise again. Our incident response staff are checking defences. Avoid contact with flood water and move possessions and valuables off of the ground or to safety. Property owners with property level resilience are advised to install it. This message will be updated tomorrow morning, Tuesday 2 February, or as the situation changes.
