apparently Staverton mill and Christan Malford blocked as well.
Bathford - at the bottom of "Sally in the Woods Hill"
Road closed last night (under about 5-6ft of water)
Avoid

Now under 2ft of water passable - with care but, I think the road may be closed Tomorrow morning (when the water rolls off the hills)
Staverton - water rising but, not at road level yet - overnight it will probably go.

goodes hill , going up from shaw to top of Gastard very wet, laying water. could be nasty if it freezes
Yesterday morning a car was at 90 degrees embedded in the wall opposite the fire station with it's front wheel missing.
We should probably be looking out for pot heads rather than pot holes
