Many village roads across Somerset are clogged with queueing traffic as drivers dodge impassable roads on Monday morning.

Cars are currently queueing in Tintinhull, near Yeovil, after Storm Bert caused widespread disruption over the weekend.

Elsewhere in Somerset, the A3088 Western Relief Road is closed in both directions.

There are also delays due to accident investigation work between A303, at Cartgate Roundabout, Stoke Sub Hamdon, and and Bunford Lane in Yeovil.

Traffic monitoring website Inrix has reported the following road closures:

A363 Silver Street - Queuing traffic and the road is impassable due to flooding on A363 Silver Street in both directions from Station Approach to the B3107.

A4 Avenue La Fleche - Closed in both directions, with queuing traffic due to flooding from Lidl to Bridge Centre Gyratory.

A420 Ivy Lane - Closed in both directions with queuing traffic due to flooding from the railway bridge to Bridge Centre Gyratory.

A361 - Closed in both directions, queuing traffic due to flooding from The Lamb On The Strand Pub to Littleton Roundabout. There is congestion to all the way back to just past Hilperton, with the A350 very slow back to West Ashton..

A360 Northgate Street - Closed in both directions due to an unsafe building between Castle Lane and A361 New Park Street.

Lydney Town Football Club has been badly affected by the flooding after the pitch and clubhouse were completely submerged under water.

Director of football, Neil Hook, said: "In the last 30 odd years we've never seen nothing like this. It's never come into our club.

"It's devastating to be honest. It's a volunteer run club, we put so much effort into everything we do.

"People will rally round, but the damage it's caused and the cost, it's going to be unbelievable for the club to survive this."

The club's next game is against Thornbury but Mr Hook said that unless the water goes pretty quick "we won't be playing for a few weeks".

"We need as much money as possible to put the clubhouse right, we need to be open. Without the club not being open we're not making any money. We're in serious trouble to be honest."

Jack Lee has been the manager of the Rose & Crown pub in Malmesbury, north Wiltshire, for two years.

Speaking to the BBC last night he said: "The rate and rise of the water has been unheard of."

The lights outside the pub have been tripping out, he said, adding: "I’ve been out and put planks out. We’re not underwater yet. It’s business as usual. There’s nothing more we can do.

"The council have put the protection they can in place, that’s all you can do."

Here's a bit more on the flooding on the railways in the West...

Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue has confirmed Avenue La Fleche in Chippenham has been closed.

It's one of the main town centre routes and, looking at travel data, it's causing considerable problems.

The fire service has asked for people to "avoid this and all surrounding areas" due to the flooding from the River Avon.

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

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

Shops including Tesco and WH Smith have been forced to close, while fire and rescue teams are attempting to retrieve stranded motorists close to the Bridge Centre roundabout nearby.

That’s the town’s busiest junction, so there’s chaos on the surrounding roads - forcing all three of Chippenham’s secondary schools to shut their doors today.

The Mayor of Lydney in Gloucestershire, Tash Saunders, told BBC Radio Gloucestershire this morning: "I don't think Lydney has experienced flooding like this since the 60s.

"Lots of homes in two areas of the town are flooded, our town centre is flooded. Businesses turned into rivers, it's absolutely horrendous.

"Everything is under water at the moment."

If you have seen any flooding problems we'd really love to see your photos or videos.

Make sure it is safe to take photos, and safe to send them, before you do.

You can get in touch with us on WhatsApp on 0800 313 4630.

We have people out in all our areas across the West reporting on the impact of Storm Bert.

BBC Points West's Laura Evans-Hughes and BBC Radio Somerset's Andrew Enever have sent us these photos from Somerset, which was also hit by flooding and high winds.

Meggi Longhurst sent us this video of the scene in Malmesbury last night.

There are multiple flood warnings for the town, external, the Environment Agency said.

Those include the Avon from Chippenham to Malmesbury, the Dauntsey Brook and the Tetbury Avon in the town.

Rail operator GWR says that passengers should "not attempt to travel on any route today".

"You may use your ticket on Tuesday or Wednesday for any service", it added.

There is flooding between Swindon and Bristol Parkway and many other routes are facing severe delays.

Flooded Yate resident Ayden Mastif spoke to BBC Points West about the moment he realised something was wrong on Sunday night.

He said the first thing he noticed was that his WiFi cut off.

"One of my mates rang me and said 'have you checked outside?' and I was like 'nah'," he said.

"I got off the sofa and I was like 'what's going on? The floor's wet.'

"So she [my partner] started panicking and was like 'where is it?' and the water was coming through the front door."

The A40 from The Forest of Dean towards Gloucester is "virtually impassable" on the approach to the Highnam Roundabout.

Callers into BBC Radio Gloucestershire have told us there are abandoned cars on the road and travel time is about one hour plus.

South Gloucestershire councillor Cheryl Kirby said she was "horrified" to hear about the flooding in Yate.

"I've lived here for 45 years, I have never seen anything like this before," she said.

"I've spoke to quite a few people who are as shocked as I am. They've not been flooded but they can't believe what's happening with their neighbours, people they know.

"They are worried about their pets and cars. It's just a shock, there's no other word for it.

"My heart goes out to the residents who are dealing with this, along with our superb emergency services who are absolutely brilliant at the moment trying to help everyone."

A spokesperson for the Avon Fire and Rescue Service said its crews will return to Slimbridge Close in Yate this morning to assess the water damage.

The flood water subsided at the close at about 02:30 GMT, but some houses have been flooded despite residents' best efforts to try to stop the water from entering their homes.

There are about 300 houses in the area - but not all of them have been affected, the spokesperson added.

Flood water has been so bad in Chippenham, Wiltshire, that the high street is virtually underwater.

The roads around The Bridge Centre roundabout are also submerged.

All three secondary schools in the town are closed today as staff cannot get in.
