The severe flooding in Nailsea at the weekend wasn't down to problems with the maintenance of the drains.

That's according to North Somerset Council, who say they were working to empty them throughout Sunday and only one was found to be blocked.

They've been reacting to residents' calls for more to be done to clear the drains, after about 80 homes and a number of roads had to be pumped out by firefighters following torrential rain.
