Report by Stephen Collier for Pulman's Weekly News
The Sainsbury’s Superstore on Holyrood Street in Chard has been temporarily closed due to flooding caused by heavy rainfall over the past few days.
Somerset Council has declared a major incident after storms Herminia and Eowyn brought intense flash flooding to the region. The fire service has attended at least 10 incidents involving vehicles stranded in floodwater.
A Sainsbury’s spokesperson confirmed they are “working to reopen the store as quickly as possible.”
Chard and Ilminster were among the areas hardest hit by the storms, with residents and businesses left dealing with the aftermath.
