ROADS across north Essex were washed out after heavy rain caused serious flooding.
Last week’s deluge followed a month of heavy rainfall, which has left the ground saturated and drains full.
The situation hasn’t changed in Ramsey.
Along the footpath from Rectory Lane, Ramsey to Little Oakley, between the lane and the A120 is still flooded.
The Met Office said so far this month 76mm of rain has fallen on Essex, already exceeding the average for the whole of December at 52mm.
