Hundreds of people in Bedfordshire had to flee their homes
Christmas Day saw flooding which forced hundreds of residents in parts of Bedfordshire to flee their homes after the river burst its banks and water flooded on to bridges and roads.
Also, more than a thousand people were forced to flee the Billing Aquadrome holiday park in the county of Northamptonshire on Christmas Eve when severe flood warnings were put in place for the River Nene.
Northamptonshire Police said water had reached 5ft high in some places, with emergency services using boats to take residents in the worst-hit areas to safety.
Detective Superintendent Jamie Piscopo said: “Emergency services are working hard to ensure residents can return to the site as soon as possible, however it is not currently safe to do so.
“We’d urge them to stay away until such time it is safe to do.”
