Jon Tilbury, who lives in Bradford-on-Avon, said the town currently has "a very strange atmosphere" as people come to terms with seeing parts of it under water once again.

"On the one hand [we're] desperately worried about the businesses affected, but also very calm in what is usually such a busy town centre," he said.

Despite work being done up river to protect the lower part of Malmesbury, last night's rain was just too much. The football club and homes in St John's Street were flooded, but also real damage was caused at the bowl's club.

The artificial surface installed five years ago after the last flooding has been completely destroyed. Thick mud, leaves and debris, the surface has bubbled and moved.

What's more, the water was high enough to sweep through the clubhouse itself, leaving films of mud and damage to the lower part of the building.

Sqn Ldr Harriet Balshaw, from the RAF Air Cadets in Long Close, Chippenham, said that after the flooding they will need to find a temporary home while their building is repaired.

"It's deeper than expected," she said, describing the floodwater.

"I feared for the worst when I woke up this morning and someone sent me a picture of the centre of Chippenham."

Ms Balshaw, who is responsible for most of the Air Cadet units in North Wiltshire, said she has begun the process of contacting the people responsible for looking after their buildings.

She is appealing for anyone with a school hall or a community building to let them borrow their space for a few weeks, so that the Air Cadets can continue parading.

Between Friday night and early this morning, Storm Bert delivered between 50 to 75mm of rain across many parts of our region.

The slow-moving nature of the rainfall, particularly on Sunday, exacerbated the potential for impacts from flooding.

As far as winds were concerned, Storm Bert brought gusts widely into 50mph and exceeding 60mph in some areas during Sunday morning.

Indeed at Yeovilton in Somerset, a gust of 76mph was the highest recorded there since February 1990 and was among the highest gusts registered nationally from Storm Bert.

The good news is that - while a spell of further rain will cross the south on Tuesday night - this week looks a good deal drier and much less windy overall, allowing a period of recovery from Storm Bert's impacts.

In Chippenham the river level is expected to peak some time this afternoon.

All of the shops and banks in the high street have closed and a police cordon moved 100 yards towards the Market Place to keep fascinated passers by away from the water.

People say this is the worst flooding they have seen here since the late 1960s.

Avenue La Flèche remains closed at the Bridge Centre and motorists are having to travel via Melksham to reach the south of the town.

Back in South Gloucestershire, some of Winterbourne's roads, such as Down Road, are flooded after the heavy rain. Motorists are being reminded of the dangers of entering flood water.

Emma Kemsley owns two shops in Lydney and said she was "amazed" at how far up the flood water came.

"It came up at least by a foot. I got in here when they said the bridge was possibly about to break," she said.

"I had an hour to try and raise things up before they evacuated me [from the shop]."

She added: "This is the time of year when we make our money, it's going to be a hard time. But I feel for the community. They really rallied around yesterday."

Kieran Jones works for a local builders merchant in Lydney, he said people had been giving out bags which members of the public are filling up with sand.

"Lydney's a great town, you need support in these uncertain times and it was great to see people coming and giving up their [time]," he said.

"I'd do it over and over again for this town."

The clean up operation has begun here in Lydney.

Many shopkeepers and shop owners using wet and dry vacuum cleaners to try and get the water out of the carpet and off the floor of their businesses.

Many had plenty of warning, although they were in a bit of a rush to try and move stock and supplies out the way.

But as you talk to business owners here, their concern is not for themselves. They're concerned about people who have not got anywhere to live, given what happened as far as the the water is concerned.

As you walk along the High Street, the biggest area of concern has been the bridge. There is quite a small humpback bridge, that links one side of the town to the other. Indeed, as I stand here, there are many quite sizable bags of sand and hardcore, braced against the side of the bridge in an effort to protect it.

I believe that at some point later on they're going to have to do a structural assessment to decide what work may or may not be needed so that they can open it again and link both sides of the town.

Ian Simpkins, 79, from Chippenham, was with his wife Sue in the town when they told us this is the worst flooding they have seen since 1968 - when Ian lived on "the other side of the river".

"We can't get the other side now... we were going to go down and take a look to see what it is like, but I don't think we can go any further," he said.

"I can't remember the town being closed for years."

This is the scene in and near Ilchester, Somerset, this lunchtime.Take care everyone!

Colin Sutton, 50, from Chippenham, says he has never seen flooding as bad as this.

"My father used to work for Wessex Water and he's told me stories, but I've never seen it quite this bad myself," he said.

"I've seen photos from the 60s on old postcards which show the high street similar to this, but I certainly haven't seen it myself."

A Gloucestershire fish and chip shop owner says he has seen "nothing like" the flooding, caused by Storm Bert.

Ben Ruddy owns Ruddy's Fish & Chips in Lydney and said there was a small amount of flooding on Sunday, which was cleaned up, but from Sunday night onwards the flooding got worse.

Mr spoke to BBC Radio Gloucestershire reporter David Smith and said: "I've never had anything like this before, this is something else.

"The sandbags did not do a lot. Within a couple of hours the water was over them.

"It's awful. Hopefully it's just a lot of cleaning that is needed.

"We've had loads of messages of help, so we should be fine. We've got good staff and a good team. But I can't have anyone come in till i know it is safe to do so."

Wendi Maxwell, a Yate resident whose home was flooded, said the water was up to her hip on the road.

"It was horrendous. There was about four feet of water just running down the lane adjacent to my house," she said.

"I was looking out my bedroom window and saw it come suddenly come in and seep into the garden initially, then the conservatory, then into the lounge. It's soaked and ruined everything."

She added: "I had to move my husband's car down the road otherwise that would have been flooded, and I came back the road was so bad two firemen had to help me cross the street. The water was up to my hip at that point."

Chippenham town centre has been brought to a standstill after the River Avon burst its banks.

Bystanders capturing their own images say the flooding is the worst they can ever remember.

A Chippenham store owner says she feels "numb" after seeing her shop flooded, following the chaos of Storm Bert.

Becky Lyons, from Calne, runs Pawesome Pet Shop and said her store is currently under a couple of feet of water.

She said: "We were not expecting this at all. It's reached my storage area, so all the stock ready for Christmas, it's a bit disheartening to say the least.

"I feel a bit empty and numb. I've put everything into this shop."

The 39-year-old moved into the premise a year ago. She added: "I'm lucky, it could be a lot worse, but we will come back stronger.

"Customers and people in the high street said they will come and help us clear out when we can get in. We have such a great community spirit.

Mayor of Lydney, Tasha Saunders, says local volunteers have turned up to help clear up after the storm.

In an emotional interview on BBC Radio Gloucestershire, Ms Saunders said the community spirit has been "absolutely amazing".

"What's amazing about Lydney is that everybody helps each other," she said.

"We're so lucky to have this community. It's just incredible."

Ms Saunders urges anyone from the community to help out if they can.
