WATCH: Fantastic new footage captures drivers braving Kenilworth Ford during flooding

8th May 2024 | Local News

New footage released last week has shown vehicles attempting to tackle Kenilworth's ford during the extended wet weather earlier this year.

Flood warnings have been put in place for Finham Brook and across South Warwickshire at several points this year, across January, February and March.

The flood was impassable for several days in early 2024, with a number of vehicles having to be rescued by emergency services.

This latest footage, released by local videographer Tom Sunderland, shows locals standing along the ford watching various vehicles taking to the water.

The video even features an Aston Martin wading along Castle Road.

Tom regularly shares flood 'fail' videos to his 119,000 YouTube subscribers and thousands of followers on social media.

The nine-minute clip - which is the first part of his footage from Kenilworth - also shows an ambulance, a Greggs lorry and various Land Rovers taking to the ford.

Local councillors have recently called for the flooding signs on either side of the passing to be fixed following the "carnage" of the early part of the year.
