The residents of Caddington can rightly be proud of themselves and their councillors (both parish and central Beds) for the impressive way they have dealt with the utilities cuts of the last week.

Only a few people remain cut off due to the fact that they are not currenty in residence and I hope therefore that most residents are now enjoying the holiday period. 

The challenge now will be the truly massive clear up operation. 

Certainly from what I have seen over the last few days, the clean up will take a lot of time and money. Local Councillor Richard Stay estimates will cost several million pounds.  Read his detailed commentary on the recent events by clicking here.

The community response has been fantastic - and I know that the local Conservative Councillors Stay and Ruth Gammons are on the ball to make sure that the utility companies and Council do everything they can -  morally as well as legally - to ensure that the financial impact and inconenience of the clean up does not unfairly fall on local residents.
