It is currently unclear when the roads will reopen.

A Wokingham Borough Council spokesman said: "Please be aware that Church Road, Swallowfield (between Swallowfield Road and Swallowfield Street) and Mill Lane, Sindlesham (between Mole Road and Lower Earley Way) are currently closed due to flooding."

An Environment Agency flood warning - meaning that flooding is expected and immediate action is required - remains in force for the River Lodden and River Blackwater around Swallowfield.

The flood warning, the only warning currently in force in England, states: "Property flooding is possible, and could reach some door levels. River levels are high, but steady on the River Loddon and Blackwater as a result of heavy rainfall that the catchment received yesterday. Further rainfall is forecast today, 20/06/21 and into Monday 21/06/21.

"We are closely monitoring the situation and our operations staff will be in the area today, 20/06/21. Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses."

The latest Met Office and BBC Weather forecasts for the Wokingham area forecast further rain early on Monday morning.

What is the difference between a flood alert and a flood warning?

The Environment Agency issues three levels of flood alert and warning to advise people of what precautions to take when flooding is possible or expected in their area.

Flood Alerts: The most common and least severe, these mean flooding is possible and to be prepared.

Flood Warnings: A step up from an alert, a Flood Warning means flooding is expected and immediate action is required.

Severe Flood Warnings: The most serious. These mean there is severe flooding and a danger to live.
