St Ives is a busy market town with an old bridge over the Great Ouse, a guided busway to Cambridge and a ring of new estates. The A1096 links it to the A14, and the A1123 runs east through Bluntisham and Earith towards Ely. Traffic backs up on the approaches at rush hour and on market days.
24 hour car recovery in St Ives
- Breakdowns on the A14 near Fenstanton and Swavesey, and on the A1096 link road.
- Cars stuck in town-centre and supermarket car parks.
- Breakdowns on the A1123 to Earith and the fen roads to Somersham, Pidley and Old Hurst.
- Commuter cars that won’t start at the park and ride or at business parks.
The Earith road floods at times when the Ouse Washes are high. Never drive into floodwater: if the car stalls in it, get out if it is safe and call 999, then call us.
