Heavy rain is forecast across south and south-west of England, with 38 flood warnings and 160 flooding alerts in place days after Storm Ciarán hit the UK.
The yellow warning advises of the possibility of spray and flooding on roads as heavy rain falls on saturated ground.

Hundreds of schools were shut, roads closed, buildings damaged and flights and bus and rail routes affected. By 11am on Thursday the Environment Agency had issued 77 flood warnings for England and 188 flood alerts.

Government data shows that in 2022, there were 1,402 collisions involving e-scooters in Great Britain and 12 deaths caused as a result. E-scooter riders bear the brunt of this. Eleven of the 12 people killed were riders, as were 1,106 of the 1,446 people injured.

The move came after a huge public backlash to the cost-cutting proposals, which attracted 750,000 responses in a public consultation, 99% of which were objections, according to the passenger watchdogs managing the survey.

cumulative effect of the planned closures
