Groundwater flooding in the Great Shefford area: Locals are being warned that groundwater levels have responded to the recent rainfall across the area and have risen in Northfield Farm in the Great Shefford area. Groundwater levels are above normal for this time of year and have now reached a level where communities may be affected within the next few days by flooding from groundwater. Experts expect levels to continue rising over the next few weeks in response to recent rainfall across the area. Low-lying land and roads will therefore continue to be at risk of flooding. Due to the nature of groundwater behaviour, this situation could continue for several weeks or longer.
