Floods in Caddington cause chaos

Drivers are having to make their way through deep puddles across the entire road, with queues of traffic creating delays.

A Central Bedfordshire spokesperson said the situation is not bad enough to warrant the attention of the emergency services, but suggested emergency planning websites for motorists who are worried about travelling.
