>> Not much cheer for North Bedfordshire folk:
Parts of the Nene have flooded badly both above and below Northampton. Mostly it's being kept out of houses but I heard a message that the caravan/park home site at Billing was being evacuated.
Normal route from here into town is via a neighbouring village to join the dual carriageway from M1/J16. Currently impassable due to the Nene being over its banks where the road crosses. Alternative routes via lanes OK now but were bad on Wednesday - almost overwhelmed with field run off.
More heavy rain due overnight Saturday/Sunday.
