RE: road closures due to floods , must be a record
Morpeth is flooded again, the foot bridge going to the park has water up to it, all the roads around the town i live in are closed or quite heavy with water though luckily the town i live in is actually quite high above the sea level...... On the plus side, my daughter LOVED walking back from school jumping in the hugest puddle lol well shes only 3

Morpeth should be renamed as Morpeth under the sea.

Apparently the flood water pressure is that great on the A178 that the flood water is blowing the manhole covers up to 18 inches into the air

RE: road closures due to floods , must be a record
Last year I thought it would be really cool to bag and lime stone chip my back and front garden and drive.....Because there is black bagging under the stones, there is no where for the rain water to go, Garden flooding like mad, another few days and it will come into the house...best get me wellies on and move some stones....

there is a "new town" being built near Exeter called CRANBROOK i think the name says it all(Brook? maybe as in stream? dont know) they say the amount of concrete there is affecting the flooding!
