Heavy rain last night and this morning (Monday, May 26) have left many roads covered in water as the rain struggles to drain away.

Campaigners against the proposed eco-town said it showed the site was not suitable for development.

"Some flood plain!" said co-chairman of the Communities against Ford eco-town Terry Knott.

"And of course, with 5,000 to 20,000 houses, the water run off will be much worse."
