Parts of north Buckinghamshire have been affected by severe flooding following heavy rain in the county. Between the afternoon of December 23 to the morning of December 24, firefighters were called out to several parts of north Bucks, where sandbags were used to stop flooding, whilst people were rescued from trapped cars due to the ongoing rain. Would recommend you don’t drive through flood waters. pic.twitter.com/sc3BfjedMD Warren Whyte (@CllrWarrenWhyte) December 24, 2020 Some of the incidents included: • 1.51pm – Car stuck in flood water Twyford to Marsh Gibbon Road, Marsh Gibbon.
