While there are still road closures in place the councils are reminding people to never drive through a road closure that has been put in place and take an alternative route.

Do not drive through flood water, only a small amount of water could damage your engine and cause you to be stuck and need help.

During this busy time, only reporting urgent highways matters to the highways hotline (0300 373 3736).
