At the invitation of local residents I went to see for myself the impact on the soakways which basically can't cope when the rain brings mud and silt from the higher fields to the west.
As Duxford relies on soakways this is a real problem and ends up with people trying to pump water away from their front door at three o' clock in the morning as happened last Saturday.
I have asked the highways people to jet out the drains to clear the silt as a short term fix but this will also need a longer term solution.
