DRIVERS are being warned about flooding and road closures.
The River Churn near Cirencester burst its banks on the weekend.
As a result the A419 Old Swindon road near Tesco and towards Dobbies Garden Centre was closed yesterday (Sunday, January 22) due to flooding.
The road is still flooded by Tesco but has been reopened and drivers are now being urged to ‘drive with caution’.
In a photo taken by James Poulton yesterday morning you can see motorists attempt to cross the road.
