Thames Valley Alert - Flooding

Message sent on behalf of Thames Valley Police:

Flooding – Aylesbury Vale

With the recent heavy rainfall in the area and more predicted over the coming days Thames Valley Police is warning drivers to take extra care on the roads.

Many local roads are already flooded and this is likely to get worse if the weather forecasts are correct for the coming days.

Several motorists have already been caught out trying to drive through floods – only to find that they are much deeper than they initially appear, leaving them (and their vehicles) stranded.

Anyone attending Stoke Mandeville Hospital should also be aware that the Lower Road, Stoke Mandeville is currently impassable, so access to the hospital can only be gained from the Aylesbury direction.

Please do not ignore ‘Road Closed’ signs – they are there to keep motorists safe.

Local radio stations put out regular traffic updates, so please listen in to find out up to date information on flooding and traffic conditions.
