Flooding and the Emergency Services
If you need to call the emergency services during flooding then explain to the dispatcher the situation and advise the emergency team the best route to take. They should know this information but ..................
Access to Felmersham and Radwell during Flooding

Both Felmersham and Radwell flood regularly. At these times there is no access to the parish from the north or from the south.

To avoid the floods when approaching from Bedford take the second exit on the A6 Clapham bypass marked Oakley/Pavenham and follow the signs to Pavenham. In Pavenham turn right at the road junction for Felmersham.

If approaching on the A6 from the north, ignore all the Felmersham and Radwell road signs on the A6. Continue to head south passing through Milton Ernest. Leave the A6 at the slip road immediately prior to joining the dual carriageway of the Clapham bypass. The slip road is signposted Oakley/Clapham/Pavenham. At the mini roundabout on the top of the hill turn right and follow the Oakley and Pavenham signs. In Pavenham turn right at the road junction for Felmersham.

 If visiting from the west take the Turvey - Carlton - Felmersham road and not the Harold - Odell road.
