Monmouthshire County Council staff have been out sandbagging around Monmouth Town in the hope of preventing a repeat of last month's flooding, which lead to around 50 residents having to be evacuated in to local hotels.
A council spokeswoman said: "Surface flooding is affecting roads in Monmouthshire. Our crews are out and about providing sandbags to communities.
"Residents are advised to take care when driving."

In Newport, workers at the Felnex Trading Estate reported flooding on Stephenson Street, with blocked drains causing the water level to rise under the railway bridge.
