ROADS in Basingstoke have been flooded following heavy rain overnight.

The past few days have seen a lot of rainfall in the town, with Storm Eowyn, followed by Storm Herminia, both battering the town with strong wind.

Rain is due to continue long throughout the day and get heavier on Wednesday afternoon, according to the Met Office.

Motorists in the town have had to take extra care, particularly if they want to access the tip on Wade Road.

Daneshill roundabout is also experiencing the effects of flooding, with drivers having to take a wider approach to head around it safely.

Elsewhere, London Road towards Hook has been turned into a small lake due to the bad weather.
