FURTHER flood alerts have been issued across Somerset as the county continues to feel the effects of a damp Easter weekend.

The Environment Agency has issued a Flood Warning for those along the Washford River in West Somerset from Watchet to Roadwater and Luxborough, which means some flooding is expected.

'Flood alerts' have been issued for much of Taunton, Bridgwater, Burnham, much of the Somerset Levels and parts of South Somerset, meaning residents should be prepared for the risk of flooding.

A road in Bishop's Hull, Taunton, was flooded this morning after the rainfall over the weekend.
