Langford Flood Warning Station

After heavy rain the Langford Brook, which goes under the road just here, sometimes forgets what its banks are for and spreads out a bit. The Environment Agency have put in an early warning station which is in the green kiosk. This automatically raises an alarm when the water reaches a certain level. And changing the subject, wouldn't it be nice if there were more cycleways like this one.
