Flood alert for Groundwater flooding in the Great Shefford area
Get flood warnings by phone, text or email
Continued high groundwater levels may lead to flooding. Flooding of low-lying areas and roads is possible.
Groundwater levels are high but slowly falling at our Northfield Farm borehole in the Great Shefford area. Groundwater levels are expected to continue slowly falling over the coming weeks in response to a period of more settled weather. Due to the nature of groundwater flooding, this situation could continue for several weeks or longer.
We are closely monitoring rainfall and groundwater levels.
Residents are advised to consider property resilience measures and ensure that pumps are working where they have been installed. Keep up to date with groundwater levels on the 'Get Flood Warnings' site on gov.uk.
This message will be updated by 4 PM, on the 28 April 2026, or as the situation changes.
