Shops batten down the hatches to keep water at bay

Shops near Three Bridges station are using sand bags to keep flood water at bay - and the road beneath the railway bridge is under water.

Traffic is able to pass under the bridge from the Pound Hill side but the Three Bridges side is impassable.

With customers unable to make their way through the water, the Kebab Centre has closed for the day.

A spokesman said: “We’ve put sand bags in front of the shop but we’re closing now because no one can get into the shop.
