West roads and rail lines closed by Storm Henk flooding

Water levels are extremely high in Bradford-on-Avon

Further disruption is expected across the West in the aftermath of Storm Henk.

Eleven flood warnings are in place in Wiltshire and there are nine flood warnings for the River Severn in Gloucestershire.

Great Western Railway (GWR) have said lines were shut between Bristol Parkway to both Swindon and Gloucester.

Adrian Hampton, Wiltshire Council's head of highways said: "We have had our challenges overnight."

It comes as a man in his 50s died after a tree fell on his car in high winds.

Gloucestershire Police said officers were called to the Tetbury Road near Kemble at about 15:15 GMT on Tuesday to reports a large tree had hit a car.

The man died despite the efforts of paramedics who arrived by air ambulance.

Malmesbury in Wiltshire also has lots of flooding with lots of standing water

On the trains, the railway line between Bristol Temple Meads and Weston-super-Mare has reopened with speed restrictions in place.

There are cancellations to services between Bristol Temple Mead and Taunton as well as Cardiff.

Network Rail said train services running through stations on the route may be cancelled or delayed.

On the roads, the A417 is still closed near Maisemore in Gloucestershire due to flooding, and several trees came down in Somerset.

Avon Fire and Rescue Service said it has responded to multiple incidents of people getting stuck on flooded country roads in Chew Magna, and having to be rescued by fire crews.

A spokesperson for the service said it is urging people to avoid driving through the flooded roads.

Closures are also in place around the A419 after an accident during Storm Henk, causing disruption around Junction 15 of the M4.

'Major challenge'

Speaking to BBC Radio Wiltshire, Mr Hampton said the main challenge for Wiltshire Council has been flooded roads in the north of the county and that the current closures "will be around for some time".

He said: "Just because its stopped raining doesn't mean the problem will go away."

The areas with the biggest problems are around Lacock and Staverton near Melksham, Mr Hampton added.

Low-lying land along the River Avon, particularly Reybridge and Seagry near Malmesbury, is also at risk.

River levels in Gloucestershire are expected to rise further over the next few days, peaking in Gloucester on Friday according to the Environment Agency.

Roy Stokes, from the Environment Agency said: "All the rain that we had yesterday which has gone into the river system now means that the river levels are still raising.

"The River Severn is still on its way up and is due to peak around Friday in Gloucester and will continue to rise for the next couple of days even though we have less rain falling."

Dundas Aqueduct, a Scheduled Ancient Monument which carries the Kennet and Avon Canal over the River Avon and the Wessex Main Line railway, has also been affected by flooding.

Steps leading down from the aqueduct, which is near Monkton Combe, Somerset, have been submerged in floodwater and are inaccessible.

Some nearby buildings have also been flooded, while adjacent farmland is also under water.

Meanwhile more than 100 homes are without power according to electricity network provider SSE, particularly around Lacock, Highworth and Shrivenham.

Mr Hampton added: "We have got flooding closures overnight and some of those will be around for a considerable amount of time as we need the flood water to recede, and there are a number of river warnings out."

He added the council was also responding to reports of 40 fallen trees on highways overnight.

"I would say to everyone is be very careful as we have got all that debris which is coming down from the wind in the trees and standing water across the county," he added.
