I have been in touch with both Central Bedfordshire Council and Bedford Borough Council this morning about the overnight flooding, which has affected many of us throughout Mid Bedfordshire.
The emergency services are working flat out and teams have been out all night. And I know that many people across Mid Bedfordshire have been out helping neighbours as well. A HUGE thank you to everyone!
