Elsewhere, Westbury Road near Couston in south Wiltshire remains flooded and closed.

This comes after a day of heavy rain on September 23 when an amber weather warning for rain was issued by the Met Office.

Many roads and towns across the county were flooded, with residents in Calne wading through the water after it was submerged.

As rush hour hit, cars became stuck in traffic due to closed lanes on major commuter roads.
