This has been a winter of numerous small-medium scale floods... bit like last summer... and last winter...

Nothing serious though. The weather is set to calm down from tomorrow evening.

I have been out and about today photo's are on-line http://www.1065.thesevern.co.uk

Chris - how have the floods affected the Longden Coleham flood defences work?

Thought it was a bad idea building them during the winter!

Work has obviously stopped whilst the river is flooding, I guess we shall find out if there any other problems in time.

There are new pictures I have taken today on-line http://www.1065.thesevern.co.uk along with the latest flooding information from road to car park closures.

Just out of interest i came through town this morning, Smithfield Road, Chester Street, Coton Hill, Greenfields all back open again. The roads were extremely quiet and saw that the bypasses were jam packed - i presume these people didn't realise that it was all open again - but i sailed through this morning!! I can't say the same last night though with the traffic, it was a nightmare. But it would seem that almost normal service has been resumed - people just don't realise it yet!!!

Yes normal service has almost resumed... they opened Coton Hill and Cross Street this morning. It was these roads being closed that caused most of the problems yesterday.

I went on the bypass last night around 6pm and it was backed up from the Preston island all the way to Dobies and back in the opposite direction.
