River level high and flooding again

Thursday 28th January 2021

After another spell of heavy rain, the river level again rose rapidly and was very high just prior to the weekend. It burst its banks once again into Lagden's Grove and Cook's Meadow, and to the west of Bourn Bridge.  

On the Hildersham side of the A1307, Andy M had to wade through fields to the Hildersham footbridge, where the river had flooded both sides, the levels in the fields rising while he watched!
