Flooded Loddon Bridge park and ride stays closed

A flooded park and ride site in Berkshire will remain closed for the rest of the day.

The Loddon Bridge site in Winnersh, which has a history of shutting after heavy rainfall, has been affected again this week.

Wokingham council said it hoped it would reopen on Saturday but with more rain forecast this could be revised.

On Thursday, motorists across Berkshire endured travel delays after heavy rainfall caused flooding on some roads.

By mid-morning the B4494 Oxford Road in Newbury was barely passable between the Grove Road and Love Lane junctions.

Sandford Lane in Woodley and Emmbrook Road in Wokingham were also closed for a time.

Flood alerts have been issued for Lower River Loddon, the River Pang and the River Blackwater at Swallowfield.

Some non-league grounds suffering due to the rather damp weather we have been getting - Staines Town and Gloucester City (that last one lasting some time like this now) - I was gonna say for your 'amusement', though hardly at all amusing for them! ...

Have to say we're lucky where we live. The town has a few small rivers in and around it, although some of them are little more than streams, and some of the lowest points in town have had problems. But most of our floods are out in the countryside and I know a few people who have struggled to get in and out of town.

As for us, we live in one of the highest points in the town so things would have to get really bad (it would have to be above the roof's of most houses) for us to get effected.
