Marcin Mioducki has been out about about across Bedford taking photos with his drone.
His incredible images give a detailed view of the broken banks of the River Great Ouse and other low lying areas that have been flooded, causing disruption across the Borough.
Meanwhile, Jo Midgley has taken some ground level shots along The Embankment highlighting the flooding between the River Great Ouse and Longholme Lake which consistently floods during heavy rainfall.
Jo also commented, “The water is moving so incredibly fast and I imagine last nights rain has not come down yet.”
The Environment Agency has said river levels expected to remain high and may even continue to rise causing other parts of the River Great Ouse also flooding.
A flood warning remains in place for low lying areas around the River Great Ouse. You can check for updates to flood warning and alerts via the ‘check for flooding‘ pages of Gov.uk.
If you’d like your flood pictures to be featured in the Bedford Independent, email them to news@BedfordIndependent.co.uk. Take care when taking pictures. Only take photos if it is safe to do so and stay well back from the water’s edge.
