Flooding has caused significant disruptions in both Bristol and Swindon. In Bristol, the Portway was closed in both directions due to flooding, with a flood alert issued for the Tidal River Avon at Bristol, Pill, and Shirehampton. The flooding along the Portway and Sea Mills has disrupted travel by road and rail, prompting warnings against driving through flooded areas. Darren Jones (@darrenpjones) has contacted the Environment Agency and Bristol City Council for updates and information on future flood defences. In Swindon, a burst water main has led to the closure of the Great Western Way between Mannington and the Bruce Street Bridges, and Mead Way between Stonehill Green and the Meads roundabout. Thames Water (@thameswater) and Swindon Council (@SwindonCouncil) are responding to the incidents.
