Images: Floods cause disruption across Buckinghamshire

Areas of Buckinghamshire were severely impacted by the adverse weather conditions with schools, businesses and roads shut down due to the downpour.

So, which were the worst-hit parts of the county?

Amersham was one of the worst affected areas as firefighters were called out to deal with excessive water in the roads, most notably on Rectory Hill.

The emergency services were called to the road near Amersham train station at 6:53am on Monday, September 23, after a night of heavy rain saw around one-and-a-half feet of water build up underneath the railway bridge.

Motorists were recommended to find alternative routes whilst some vehicles were stuck in the floods.

On top of the roadworks that are already taking place in the town, this caused even more disruption for those making their way through Amersham.

A few miles down the road in Chesham, the heavy rain badly impacted several shops along the High Street.

Most notably the Chapter Two charity book shop, which opened at the unorthodox time of 1pm, rather than their usual slot of 9am on Monday morning.

Upon entering the store, the management staff discovered that around two inches of water had made its way into the shop, damaging several books that were beyond repair.

However, after assembling a team of volunteers, the vast majority of the water was removed and the business was able to go about as normal.

Manager Sue Farnfield told the Free Press: “We made everyone aware [members of staff and volunteers] what had happened, and when they came over, we managed to get the shop open in a few hours.

“Everyone rolled up their sleeves and helped.

“Some customers also wanted to help but at that point, we had run out of mops.

“In truth, it was heroic of everyone to help out.”

Staying in Chesham, the Thomas Harding Junior School was closed for two days before reopening on Wednesday.

Chalfont St Peter and Great Missenden were also badly affected but away from South Buckinghamshire, parts within the centre of the county were also badly impacted by flooding, most notably in Aylesbury.

Heavy rain and road closures meant some parts of the town were ‘gridlocked’ as some motorists queued up for nearly two hours.

Areas of the A418 and the A41 were badly disrupted, as roughly ‘two feet of water’ made it impossible for cars to get through.

Emergency services were also called to Oxford Road in the town after several vehicles were stuck in the water.
