Advice for motorists to take care when driving today has been issued as roads are still likely to be flooded following Storm Bert.

Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service has issued a reminder to drivers to take care on the roads this morning as they travel to work.

It comes after heavy rain and wind battered Dorset which resulted in many road closures over the weekend. 

Flood warnings are still in place in some areas including near the rivers Frome and Asker.

In light of the hazardous conditions, the fire service has also offered advice on what to do before setting off. 

A spokesperson for Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "Following the heavy rain from Storm Bert this weekend, we’d like to encourage everyone to take care on their commute this morning.

"It is likely that roads will still be affected by yesterday’s heavy rain and flooding, so please take care to check your route before setting off, don’t drive through standing water - it may be a lot deeper than you think., and take extra care as roads may still be slippery."
