On Monday the 25th of June 2007 parts of Longlevens in Gloucestershire were flooded, including Cypress Gardens, Evergreen Walk, Greyhound Gardens, Clomoney Way and Park Avenue. Unlike other floods in the UK that happened that week, the flood waters rose to over four feet deep in some properties before receding completely all within 8 hours.

This appears to be unnatural flood behaviour compared to other flooded areas where the water remains for days if not weeks.

Therefore was the flooding of Longlevens caused by human or mechanical error?
