Flood warnings are in place on rivers in north Wales

The A5 at Corwen was cut off after a heavy downpour and the road between the Dee Bridge and the Ty'n y Cefn traffic lights was also under water in places.

However, Green Lane in Corwen and the B5437 Carrog to Llidiart y Parc road are closed, as are two minor roads in Cynwyd and Llandrillo.

Ysgol Caer Drewyn in Corwen also remains closed due to flooding problems on roads leading into the town.

On Thursday, Marjorie Askew, who lives a mile away from Corwen's town centre, said she was told to leave her art class or run the risk of being left stranded.

"When I came through it was fine but I left my art class because we had a message to say go home as both the bridges out of Corwen were about to flood.

"I'm fine because I live on a hill, although I feel like a castle with a moat around me."

Motorists

Denbighshire County Council has confirmed there has been no properties affected by flooding in the region.

Drivers wanting to travel through Corwen from the Cerrigydrudion area were advised to take the A5104 through Bryneglwys, then the A542 Horseshoe Pass road at Llandegla.

Motorists could then re-join the A5 at Llangollen.

The Environment Agency issued a flood warning for the Upper Dee Valley, including Corwen and Llangollen.

A Flood Watch was also in place for the River Clwyd at Ruthin, the Vale of Clwyd and the River Elwy at St Asaph.

In Wrexham, the A525 road into Bangor on Dee was closed and motorists were being advised to find an alternative route.
