Heavy rain floods multiple roads in Southport

Heavy rain overnight has flooded a number of roads in Southport.

Rotten Row is one of the worst roads affected with cars struggling to make it through a large build-up of standing water.

The road is completely flooded near to the miniature boating lake and railway.

Heavy rain has been predicted to last for the remainder of the week and people are being warned to expect showers and high winds to disrupt travel throughout the north west.

Cars are advised to avoid Rotten Row but the road does remain open to traffic at this time.
