A resident has shared a video of water levels rising outside their house in an appeal for help.

As heavy rain continues to fall in Swindon, they worried the water might enter their property and asked for sandbags from fellow Swindonians on Facebook.

They said: “Can anyone help with sandbags etc. before it goes into the house please? 

“Swindon Borough Council have been called but they are not the quickest. Any help would be greatly appreciated.”

The video shows water pouring from their house into an already large puddle reaching the entrance to their door.

Another picture shared with the video shows water gathering around the walls and front path.

Heavy rain is falling across Wiltshire as an amber weather warning applies for the day, with a government flood warning also in place. The flood warning states that property flooding is not expected.

However, another resident shared a similar video of their back garden, with water gathering on the concrete and coming down the garden stairs.

They said: “My back gardens the same, it’s flooding so bad due to the guttering on the whole house which has been like this for ages.”
