SOMERSET Council has warned that the A358 at Donyatt is fully closed due to flooding following heavy rainfall throughout the week.
Somerset Council have reinstated last night’s road closure after surface water from adjacent land has caused flood levels on the A358 passing through Donyatt to rise again.
The council is warning Donyatt residents to drive safely, avoid flood water, allow themselves extra time, and stay up to date with potential disruptions on the roads.

This follows multiple amber ‘flooding is possible’ flood warnings being issued on January 20 by the Environment Agency.
A spokesperson for Somerset Council said: “We have reports of surface water on roads across Somerset today. Please take care while travelling – plan ahead, leave extra time and do not drive through floodwater.
“Remember, 30cm of water is enough to move a car. Turn back and find another route – it is not worth the risk.”
