Flooding has forced 43 people to evacuate from a Northamptonshire holiday park.

Firefighters and police worked to evacuate residents until late on Tuesday night at Billing Aquadrome holiday park, Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service said.

A “very limited” number of people remain at the site, the fire service added.

It comes after parts of the UK saw more than the monthly average rainfall on Monday, with flash flooding damaging homes and disrupting travel.

Teams used 4×4 vehicles and PPE to help 43 people away from areas that were affected by the rising flood water.

West Northamptonshire Council carried out welfare checks on any vulnerable people at the site and provided an overnight rest centre and emergency bedding at Lings Forum Leisure Centre for 52 people and 22 dogs displaced by the flooding, the fire service said.

Volunteers from the Red Cross and Re:Act are supporting people at the centre who have been provided with hot food and drink.

The firefighters left at about midnight but will be returning on Wednesday.

Pictures taken on Tuesday showed neighbouring Cogenhoe Mill holiday park flooded after the River Nene burst its banks.

Areas including Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire were among the worst hit on Monday, the Met Office said previously.
