Richard visits households affected by sewage backups caused by heavy rainfall

Last Friday, Richard spent time speaking to residents in Wyboston, Tempsford, Langford and Biggleswade about the long-standing problems they're facing in respect of flooding and backed up sewage. Richard recorded a video summarising his visits here: https://youtu.be/Iw8HBI5HyqI?si=QcPT2UQbc5VpVgsG

Speaking afterwards, Richard Fuller MP said:

It is unacceptable that many residents are unable to use such everyday, but essential household amenities as their toilets, showers and washing machines.

I am pulling together all relevant parties; Anglian Water, Bedford Borough and Central Bedfordshire Councils and the Environment Agency to find a long term solution to these issues.

Many thanks to all those who took the time to share their experiences.
